The director of public parking facilities shall establish the hours during the day and night when parking meters or gates must be used and when the time limitations shall be effective, in compliance with the provisions of this subchapter; and shall indicate the time limitations by designating the time on the parking meters or gates or by appropriate signs posted in proximity to the meters in those zones.

Parking meters or gates installed in the parking zones established shall be placed immediately adjacent to the individual parking places or parking lots described in this section. Each parking meter shall be placed or set in a manner as to show or display by a signal that the parking space adjacent to the meter is or is not legally in use. Each parking meter or gate installed shall indicate by a proper legend the legal parking time established by the city and each parking meter when operated shall indicate the duration of the period of legal parking, and on expiration of the period shall indicate illegal or overtime parking.
(1957 Rev. Ords., § 13.405; 1992 Code, § 40-279) (Ord. 12-04, passed 2-2-2004)

Failure to deposit the proper fee and put the meter or gate in operation shall constitute a violation of this subchapter. Upon the deposit of the fee and placing the meter or gate in operation, the parking space may be lawfully occupied by the vehicle during the period of parking time which has been prescribed for the part of the street or parking lot in which the parking space is located.
