Except in a period of emergency determined by an officer of the fire department or
police department, or in compliance with the direction 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 the parking space, immediately deposit, or cause to be deposited, in such
meter such proper coin of the United States as is required by such parking meter and
as designated by proper directions of the meter. The operator of such vehicle, after
the deposit of the proper coin, shall also set in operation the timing mechanism of
such meter in accordance with the 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 section. 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 time which has been prescribed for
the parking space; provided that any person placing a vehicle in a parking meter space
adjacent to a meter which indicated that unused time has been left in the meter by
the previous occupant of the space shall not be required to deposit a coin as long
as his occupancy of such space does not exceed the indicated unused parking time.
If such 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 division.
