When a vehicle is parked in any space adjacent to which a parking meter is located, upon entering such parking space during the hours of parking meter operation, or at the beginning of such hours if the vehicle was parked there previously, the operator of the vehicle shall immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in the parking meter adjacent thereto, a coin of the United States and operate the meter in accordance with the instructions thereon. The failure of the operator to do so shall constitute a violation of this article. Upon the deposit of the coin and the operation of the meter, the parking space may be lawfully occupied by the vehicle during the period of parking time for which coins have been deposited to operate the parking meter provided such occupancy does not exceed the established maximum time limit for that space.
For the purpose of this article, the legend on any parking meter shall be notice to all persons of the legal parking periods in the parking space adjacent thereto.
No person shall cause, allow or permit any vehicle registered in the name of or operated by such person to be parked in any parking meter zone herein designated in violation of the provisions of this article. Each hour during which a vehicle is parked in violation shall be a separate and additional violation.
