It shall be a violation of this article for the owner or operator
of any motor vehicle or other vehicles to park between the hours of
9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on any day except Sundays and the following
holidays: New Years Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day for more than the maximum time
purchased and indicated on the dial of parking meter. The following
are designated by parking meter zones:
A.
Freeport
Road from Woodland Road westwardly to a point 181.69 feet west of
Blaw Avenue, in the Borough of Blawnox.
B.
Other
parking meter zones may be designated to a point 181.69 feet west
of Blaw Avenue, in the Borough of Blawnox.
C.
Other
parking meter zones may be designated by subsequent Borough Council
resolutions.
On streets so designated, the proper officers shall cause parking
spaces on the pavements or curbs or by other appropriate measure to
be marked and, in such spaces so marked, shall erect, or cause to
be erected, a parking meter which, upon the deposit of a coin or a
combination of coins of the United States indicated on the meters
will entitle the party parking his or her car to a limited time as
indicated on the parking meter and signal said person when such period
has elapsed.
A.
In order that the police officers and/or meter persons may properly
compute the time during which a vehicle is parked, the owner or operator
of said vehicle shall, upon entering such parking space, during the
time of limited parking, immediately deposit a coin or combination
of coins of the United States of America in the parking meter situated
at the side of said parking space and operate the same according to
the instructions thereon. Failure to do so shall constitute a violation
of this article.
B.
Upon deposit of such $0.05, $0.10, or $0.25 coins and placing the
meter in operation, according to the instructions on the meter, the
parking space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle during the
period of parking time, which has been prescribed for the particular
amount deposited. The parking meters, when installed and properly
operated, shall be so adjusted that $0.05, $0.10, or $0.25 coins may
be deposited at any time throughout the maximum range of the meters.
Each $0.05 coin shall permit the vehicle to be parked for a period
of 15 minutes, and each $0.10 coin shall permit the vehicle to be
parked for a period of 30 minutes, and each $0.25 coin shall permit
the vehicle to be parked for a period of 60 minutes. However, said
coins shall not register on the meters in the excess of two hours
permitted parking time. If such vehicle shall remain parked in any
such space for a length of time that the meter shall indicate by proper
signal that the lawful parking period has expired, such vehicle shall
not be considered as parking overtime, and the parking of a vehicle
overtime shall constitute a violation of this article.
It shall be a violation of this article to park any vehicle
across any line or marking designating a parking space, or to park
said vehicle in any way that the same shall not be wholly within a
parking space as designated by said line or markings.
It shall be a violation of this article to deposit, or cause
to be deposited, in any parking meter a slug or substitute for a coin
of the United States.
It shall be a violation of this article for any person to deface,
tamper with, damage, open or willfully break, destroy or impair the
usefulness of any parking meter installed under the terms of this
article.
A.
The minimum fine for parking overtime in violation of this article
shall be $1, if that amount is paid within two hours after the issuance
of the parking violation, which amount must be deposited with the
ticket envelope in the parking courtesy box. If the fine is not paid
within the two hours, the fine will become $2, plus costs of collection,
or imprisonment up to five days, or both. Failure to pay the fine
within three days will necessitate the issuance of a citation/summons
by a Magisterial District Judge.
B.
If the vehicle is not moved after the first violation, additional
parking violations and fines will be assessed every two hours thereafter.
