The Chief of Police is hereby directed to provide for the installation, regulation, control, operation, and use of the parking meters and parking meter fine depositories provided for in this section. Each parking meter installed in a parking meter area shall be placed upon the curb immediately adjacent to the parking meter space. Each parking meter shall be placed and set in such a manner as to show or display by a signal that the parking space adjacent to such meter is or is not legally in use. Each parking meter installed shall indicate by proper legend the legal parking time and when operated shall indicate by some appropriate device the duration of the period of legal parking, and on the expiration of such period, shall indicate illegal or overtime parking.
There shall be plainly indicated upon each parking meter the time limitation for parking in such space.
