Parking meters shall be operated by the deposit of a coin in the meter, as prescribed by § 335-55, and the parking rates for specified lengths of time, as well as the maximum parking times prescribed in § 335-51, shall apply at all times between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, in the parking meter zones listed in § 335-51 as Central Business Zone, provided that the time of operation for parking meters in the hospital zone should be 24 hours per day, except for legal holidays (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Flag Day and Columbus Day).
Parking meters installed in the parking meter zones established by § 335-51 of this chapter shall be placed upon the curb or sidewalk and immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces described in § 335-54 of this chapter. Each parking meter shall be placed or set so as to show that the parking space adjacent to that meter is or is not legally occupied. Each parking meter installed shall indicate by a proper legend the legal parking time established by the City, and when the adjacent space is occupied by a vehicle, the parking meter shall indicated on and by its dial and pointer the duration of the period of legal parking and, on the expiration of that period, shall indicate illegal parking or overparking.
Lines and/or markings shall be painted or placed upon the curb,
sidewalk or roadway adjacent to each parking meter for the purpose
of delineating the parking space for which that meter shall be used.
Every vehicle parked at any parking meter shall be parked wholly within
the lines or markings so placed and applicable to that meter. It shall
be unlawful and a violation of this article for any person to park
a vehicle across any such line or marking or to park a vehicle in
such a position that the vehicle is not wholly within the area designated
by those lines or markings.
Whenever a vehicle is to be parked in any space adjacent to a parking meter at any time in the period of limited parking as prescribed by § 335-52 of this article, the driver of the vehicle, upon entering the parking space, shall immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in that parking meter, one or more proper coins of the United States of America as specified in the legend on the parking meter. 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 such parking space for such 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.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this article for any
person to deposit or cause to be deposited in any parking meter installed
under the provisions of this article any coin for the purpose of increasing
or extending the parking time of any vehicle beyond the legal parking
time of 15 minutes in any fifteen-minute-parking-meter zone, 1/2 hour
in any 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: nothing in this section shall apply to
the servicing or opening of parking meters by officers, employees
or police officers of the City of Washington under the direction of
the Mayor.
[Amended 6-18-1992 by Ord. No. 1447; 12-23-1992 by Ord. No. 1456; 11-13-2003 by Ord. No. 1719; 1-11-2007 by Ord. No. 1767; 12-10-2009 by Ord. No.
1824]
A.
It shall be the duty of the police officers and parking enforcement
personnel of the City, acting in accordance with the directions of
the Chief of Police, to report:

The number of each parking meter that indicates that a vehicle occupying
the adjacent parking space is or has been parked in violation of any
provision of this article.

and instructing the owner or driver that, if he will report to the
office of the City Parking Authority and pay, for the use of the City,
the sum of $10 within two hours after the time of the notice, the
fine will be considered paid. After 6:00 p.m., a courtesy box will
be available for payment at 50 East Chestnut Street, the office for
the Washington City Parking Authority, and upon deposit of the ticket
within the box, the fine will be considered paid.
C.
A second ticket shall be placed upon expiration of a two-hour lapse
from issuance of the first ticket for exceeding the legal time purchased
at a metered space. The fine for a second ticket shall be $20.
D.
It shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle or to allow
any vehicle to remain parked in any handicap zone or in any parking
space designated for parking for handicapped individuals unless that
person shall first obtain written permission from the City of Washington
or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or otherwise displays an appropriate
handicapped placard as authorized by the City of Washington or the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Any person who violates any provision
of this section shall be cited for said violation consistent with
the article and, upon conviction, shall be sentenced to pay a fine
of not more than $250 plus costs.
[Amended 1-11-2007 by Ord. No. 1767]
E.
It shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle or to allow
any vehicle to remain parked in any handicapped zone or in any parking
space designated for parking for handicapped individuals unless that
person shall first obtain written permission from the City of Washington
or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or otherwise displays an appropriate
handicapped placard as authorized by the City or the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. Any person who violates any provision of this section
shall be cited for said violation consistent with this article and
upon conviction, shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than
$50, plus costs.
[Amended 11-13-2003 by Ord. No. 1719; 1-11-2007 by Ord. No. 1767; 9-11-2008 by Ord. No. 1802; 0-0-0000 by Ord. No. 1828 (Bill No. 1
of 2010)]
A.
Each ten-dollar overtime parking ticket, if paid by 12:00 midnight the same day, shall be considered paid in full. Any person who violates any provision of this article, with the exception of § 335-59, and who pays an overtime parking ticket after 12:00 midnight the same day of issuance shall pay a total fine of $20. Any parking ticket under this section paid on the day following the date of issuance, but less than five days from the date of issuance, shall pay a total fine of $40. A citation will be issued for tickets not paid within 14 calendar days after issuance and shall be forwarded to the Magisterial District Judge for collection/prosecution and, upon conviction, shall be guilty of a summary offense and shall pay a fine of at least $60 but not more than $300, together with costs of prosecution, and/or imprisonment for not more than 30 days.
B.
The City shall have authority to establish no-parking or special-purpose-parking
zones within any parking meter zone and to remove parking meters from
those areas as previously installed there, and the provisions of this
article shall not apply in those areas where no-parking or special-purpose-parking
is in effect.
