### sec.105 Paid parking
Fixed hours start for a designated parking space after a local government has installed the appropriate official traffic signs for the space.
A person may park a vehicle in a designated parking space during the fixed hours only if—
the person does not park the vehicle in the space for longer than the maximum time indicated on the official traffic sign installed in relation to the space; and
the person pays the parking fee for the space as prescribed immediately on parking the vehicle.
The person may pay the parking fee—
if a parking meter or parkatarea is installed for the space—by inserting coins of the number and denomination appropriate to the parking fee in the parking meter or parkatarea; or
if an authorised system applies in relation to the space—by doing what is required by the system.
Nothing in this section prevents a person from making more than 1 payment while a vehicle is parked in a designated parking space, if the total time of continuous paid parking does not exceed the maximum time indicated on the official traffic sign installed in relation to the space.
A local government may install a parking meter or parkatarea for a designated parking space if it is installed in a way—
specified by the MUTCD; or
approved by the chief executive.
