Sec. 18-86. Deposit of coins; overtime parking; other provisions
as to parking not affected.
(a) No person shall park a vehicle in any parking space
upon a street, or within a municipally operated parking lot,
alongside of and next to which a parking meter has been installed
during the restricted and regulated time applicable to
the parking meter zone in which such meter is located, unless
a coin of United States currency of the appropriate denomination
shall have been deposited by such person and the meter
has been placed in operation.
(b) No person shall permit a vehicle operated by him,
within his control or registered in his name to be parked in
any such parking meter space during the restricted and regulated
time applicable to the parking meter zone in which such
meter is located while the parking meter for such space indicates
by signal that the lawful parking time in such space
has expired. This provision shall not apply to the act of
parking or the necessary time which is required to deposit
immediately thereafter a coin in such meter.
(c) No person shall park a vehicle in any such parking
meter space for a consecutive period of time longer than that
limited period of time for which parking is lawfully permitted
in the parking meter zone in which such meter is located,
irrespective of the number or amounts of the coins deposited
in such meter.
(d) The provisions of this section shall not relieve any person
from the duty to observe other and more restrictive provisions
of this chapter and the state statutes prohibiting or
limiting the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles in specified
places or at specified times. (Code 1959, § 18-8.)
