parking meter
Coin-fed time limit
A parking meter is a coin-operated device mounted on a post beside a parking space, measuring the time a vehicle may legally remain parked.
Drivers insert coins to buy time; when the meter expires, they risk a ticket.
I'm out of quarters for the parking meter.
Digital versions now accept cards or mobile payment.
