Parking meters installed in metered parking lots established as provided for in this
division shall be placed adjacent to the individual parking places designated in accord
with this division. Each parking meter shall be placed or set in such a manner as
to show or display by signal that the parking space adjacent to such meter is or is
not legally in use. Each parking meter shall be set to display, upon deposit of a
proper coin or coins of the United States therein, a signal indicting legal parking
for the period of parking time corresponding to the number and value of the coin or
coins deposited, but not to exceed, however, the maximum time fixed as a parking limit
for the part of the parking lot upon which such parking meter is placed. Each parking
meter installed shall indicate by proper legend the maximum legal parking time established
by the city for that particular lot or part of lot and also shall indicate, when operated,
on its dial or by pointer, the amount of time purchased by the coin or coins deposited,
not to exceed, however, the maximum time established for such lot or part of lot,
and on expiration of such period of purchased time or maximum time, whichever occurs
first, shall indicate illegal or overtime parking.
