I received a ticket but I was feeding the meter all day. Why did I get it? A.

More simply stated, you may only park at a meter for the amount of time the meter allows. Feeding a meter longer than that allotted time warrants a ticket for the violation of "Overtime Parking." Q.

Call Parking Court at 866-353-7151, Monday - Friday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm and say "get information" when prompted by the automated voice response system. The operator has access to the payment records.
