Except in a period of emergency determined by
an officer of the Fire or Police Department or in compliance with
the directions of a police officer or traffic control sign or signal,
when any vehicle shall be parked in any parking space alongside or
next to which a parking meter is located, the operator of such vehicle
shall, upon entering said parking meter space, immediately deposit
or cause to be deposited in said meter such proper coin of the United
States of America as is required for such parking meter and as is
designated by proper directions on the meter, and when required by
the directions on the meter, the operator of such vehicle, after the
deposit of the proper coin, shall also set in operation the timing
mechanism on such meter in accordance with directions properly appearing
thereon, and failure to deposit such proper coin and to set the timing
mechanism in operation when so required shall constitute a violation
of this article. Upon the deposit of such coin (and the setting of
the timing mechanism in operation when so required), the parking space
may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle during the period of time
which has been prescribed for the part of the street in which said
parking space is located, provided that any person placing a vehicle
in a parking meter space adjacent to a meter which indicates that
unused time has been left in the meter by the previous occupant of
the space shall not be required to deposit a coin so long as his or
her occupancy of said space does not exceed the indicated unused parking
time. If said vehicle shall remain parked in any such parking space
beyond the parking time limit set for such parking space and if the
meter shall indicate such illegal parking, then and in that event
such vehicle shall be considered as parking overtime and beyond the
period of legal parking time, and such parking shall be deemed a violation
of this article.
