(2) The payment of the fee referred to in subclause (1) entitles a person to stop or park a vehicle in a ticket machine zone for the period shown on the parking ticket, but does not authorise the stopping or parking of the vehicle in a space during any time when stopping or parking in that zone is prohibited— (a) under this local law; or (b) by the sign on the ticket issuing machine referable to the zone; or (c) by a sign referable to that space. 6.2 Display of parking tickets and parking limits (1) A person must not stop or park a vehicle in a ticket machine zone during the period stated on the ticket issuing machine referable to the zone during which stopping or parking is permitted upon the purchase of a parking ticket (the “permitted period”) unless— (a) an unexpired parking ticket issued by a ticket issuing machine in that ticket machine zone; and (b) the date and time of issue or expiry, as the case may be, and the number (if any) of the ticket printed on the ticket, are properly displayed. (2) Where more than one parking ticket is displayed bearing the same date and time of issue, the period for each ticket is to be aggregated and the tickets are to be taken not to have expired until the expiry of the aggregate of those periods providing that the aggregate does not exceed the permitted period. (3) A driver of a vehicle who parks the vehicle in a ticket machine zone must, on purchasing a ticket from the ticket issuing machine for a period of parking, place the ticket inside the vehicle in a position where— (a) the ticket is clearly visible; and (b) the date, location and expiry time or time which the ticket remains valid is able to be read by and authorised person examining the ticket from outside the vehicle.
