Duty of operators of vehicles to actuate the pay station or use digital payment platforms; parking beyond time fixed for such vehicle

(a)

When any vehicle shall be parked in any time or payment regulated space as designated pursuant to this chapter, where marked with paint, posts, or signage, the operator of such vehicle shall, upon entering the parking space, immediately actuate the space utilizing either a pay station or a designated digital payment platform by payment of authorized legal tender, and the parking space may then be used by such vehicle during the parking time limit prescribed by the director for that part of the street in which parking is located or by state law. If the vehicle shall remain parked in any such parking space beyond the parking time limit allowed, or paid for, such vehicle shall be considered as parked overtime.

(b)

It is unlawful for any operator to permit a vehicle to remain in any parking space for a period of time longer than that indicated by signage or for unpaid time in non-time-restricted spaces.

(c)

It is unlawful for any operator to park a vehicle in a metered parking space without actuating a pay station or utilizing supported digital payment platforms to pay for timed parking.

(c)

It is unlawful for any operator to permit a vehicle to remain in any parking space for more than two (2) hours after a citation has been issued for violation of subsection (b) of this section.

(d)

For any continuous parking in the same parking space, no more than one (1) offense under subsection (b) of this section and one (1) offense under subsection (c) of this section shall be deemed to have occurred on any one (1) date. In the case of any continuous parking in violation of subsection (b) or subsection (c) hereof covering parts of two (2) or more dates, one (1) offense under subsection (b) and one (1) offense under subsection (c) shall be deemed to have occurred on each of such dates.

(e)

When signs are erected giving notice of time limits, no operator shall park a vehicle in any metered parking or delineated space and/or zone for a continuous period of time longer than that period of time designated by such signs. In order to enforce this provision, no person shall roll the tires of a vehicle or attempt to remove the markings made by a parking enforcement specialist prior to removing the vehicle from the parking space.

A vehicle shall be considered in violation of this section if the vehicle has not been moved at least one hundred (100) feet from the original parking space within the posted time restricted area.
