Parking meters shall be operated, by the deposit of a coin in the meter, as prescribed by Part 5, and the parking rates for specified lengths of time, as well as the maximum parking times prescribed in § 15-501, shall apply at all times between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on all days except: Sundays.
[A.O.]
Parking meters installed in the parking meter zones established by § 15-501 shall be placed upon the curb or sidewalk, and immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces described in § 15-504. 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 Borough, and when the adjacent space is occupied by a vehicle, the parking meter shall indicate 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 over-parking.
[A.O.]
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 for any person to park a vehicle across
any such line or marking, or to park a vehicle in such a position
that that vehicle is not wholly within the area designated by those
lines or markings.
[A.O.]
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 § 15-502, 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 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.
[A.O.]
It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit in any parking
meter installed any slug or other substitute for a coin of the United
States of America.
[A.O.]
It shall be unlawful and a violation for any person to deposit

zone, 1/2 hour in any 1/2 hour parking meter zone, one hour in any
one-hour parking meter zone, two hours in any two-hour parking meter
zone, four hours in any four-hour parking meter zone, eight hours
in any eight-hour parking meter zone, or 10 hours in any ten-hour
parking meter zone.
[A.O.]
It shall be unlawful, and a violation, for any person to permit
a vehicle to remain in a parking space adjacent to a parking meter
installed, 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.
[A.O.]
It shall be unlawful, and a violation, for any person to deface,
tamper with, open or willfully break, destroy or impair the usefulness
