§ 46-152. Duties of operators parking in metered spaces; overtime parking declared violation; appointment of parking violation enforcement officers.

(a)

When any vehicle shall be parked in any parking meter space adjacent to which a parking meter is located, the operator of such vehicle shall park it within the lines or marks established, excepting such vehicles whose length, width or load overlap the lines or marks, and upon entering the parking meter space, the operator shall immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in such parking meter such proper coin of the United States as is required by the traffic authority for such parking meter and as is designated by proper directions on the meter. Failure to deposit such proper coin when so required shall constitute a violation of this division. Upon the deposit of the proper coin and the placing of the meter in operation, the parking meter space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle during the period of parking time which has been prescribed for the part of the street set out and designated for public parking in which the parking meter space is located. If such vehicle shall remain parked in any such parking meter space beyond the parking time limit for such parking meter space, and if the parking meter shall by its dial and pointer otherwise indicate such illegal parking, then in that event such vehicle parking time and such parking overtime and beyond the period of legal parking time and such parking shall be deemed a violation of this division.

These officers shall be employed by and be under the direction and control of the Danbury Parking Authority. These officers shall have authority to issue notices of violation for any instances of violation of the provisions of this section or of the provisions of section 46-120.
