Sec. 18-84. Installation and operation of meters.
(a) The city manager shall install parking meters in the 
parking meter zones, upon the curb immediately adjacent to 
each designated parking space. Such meters shall be capable 
of being operated, either automatically or mechanically, upon 
the deposit therein of a coin of United States currency as required 
in the schedule provided for in section 18-83, for the 
full period of time for which parking is lawfully permitted 
in any such parking meter zone.
(b) Each parking meter shall be so designed, constructed, 
installed and set that, upon the expiration of the time period 
registered by the deposit of one or more coins, as provided 
herein, it will indicate by an appropriate signal that the lawful 
parking meter period has expired, and during such period 
of time and prior to the expiration thereof, will indicate the 
interval of time which remains of such period.
(c) Each parking meter shall bear thereon a legend indicating 
the hours when the requirement to deposit coins therein 
shall apply, the value of the coins to be deposited and the 
limited period of time for which parking is lawfully permitted 
in the parking meter zone in which such meter is located.
