Parking meters installed in the parking meter zones established by §
310-43 of this chapter shall be placed upon the curb or sidewalk, and immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces described in §

Upon the deposit of the coin or coins, and placing the meter in operation, the parking space may be lawfully occupied by the vehicle for the time indicated on the meter. If any vehicle shall remain in any space parking space for any length of time that the meter shall indicate by proper signal that the lawful parking time has expired, that vehicle shall be considered as having been parked overtime, and the parking of a vehicle overtime shall be a violation of this article.
It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit
in any parking meter installed under the provisions of this article
any slug or other substitute for a coin of the United States of America.

parking meter zone, 1/2 hour in any one-half-hour parking meter zone,
one hour in any one-hour parking meter zone, or two hours in any two-hour
parking meter zone.
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this
article, for any person to permit a vehicle to remain in a parking
space adjacent to a parking meter installed under this article, when
that meter displays a signal indicating that the vehicle has already
been parked there beyond the period of time prescribed for that parking
space, or the time for which a coin or coins was deposited in that
meter for the parking of that vehicle.
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this
article, for any person to deface, tamper with, open or willfully
break, destroy or impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed
under the provisions of this article; provided that nothing in this
section shall apply to the servicing or opening of parking meters
by officers, employees or police officers of the Township of Warwick
