| Parking Meter |
While
motorists shop they must have parking space.
A big problem for most cities is the lack of sufficient curb parking spaces
for the large number of vehicles that enter the business district each day.
As
a way of getting an efficient turnover at parking spaces, parking meters are
often used. A parking meter regulates
the length of time a vehicle may park in a particular parking space.
A
parking meter is a kind of time clock.
When anyone parks a car in a metered space, he has to put some money
into the parking meter. The time clock
inside it is set in motion by the coin.
When
the time on the meter is used up, a red flag appears on the meter. If
the car is with there after the meter turns off, a policemen can issue a
violation ticket for over-parking. The
first city in which parking meters were ever installed is said to be Oklahoma
City. The Year: 1935. – Dick Rogers
