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.
