§ 509-2. Types of Parking Meters.

Single-space parking meters shall be of either the penny, nickel, dime, quarter, or combination type and shall be so designed and constructed as to display a signal showing lawful parking following the deposit therein of a prescribed coin of the United States of America during the period of time for parking provided for the denomination of coin so deposited, which in no event shall exceed the parking limits now or hereafter provided for the part of the street upon which such single-spaced meter is placed. Each single-spaced meter shall bear a sign or legend setting forth the denomination or denominations of coins which can be deposited therein, and the parking time secured thereby, which sign or legend may be in lieu of any other sign pertaining to the parking of vehicles in the adjacent parts of the street. Each such single-spaced meter shall also be designed and constructed so that upon the expiration of the parking time provided for the denomination of coin deposited it will indicate by automatic operation of a visual signal that the lawful parking period has expired.

Multi-space meters shall be any device installed for the acceptance of parking fees for more than one parking space. Multi-space meters shall require either the conspicuous display of a receipt inside a vehicle where it can be clearly seen from outside the vehicle or the entering of the proper parking space number in which the vehicle is parked in conjunction with paying the parking fee. Multi-space meters may accept one or more of the following payment options: coins, tokens, cash, credit cards, debit cards or other stored value cards.
