It's 12:22 on a Monday and the meters will not take quarters. The message on the machine says coin or credit between 6am and 8am. Is it really only supposed to be paid parking for two hours before rush hour in the am?

Heads up traffic and parking, the meter maids were ticketing despite the broken meters. We moved the vehicle in time but all of the other cars on the streets who could not pay the meters were ticket.
Glaring truth
The meters were down because they were installing sensors that would clear any time left on the meters thus ruining one of life's simple pleasures, finding a meter with time remaining!

Does the meter say "Prepay between 6am & 8am" it should state that in the readout.

Ah, maybe it did say that but regardless the two meters took 75 cents in quarters and would not display any value.

A vehicle at 1094 Chapel was ticketed with a time marked before the actual time.. pre-crime? The woman had paid for a 1/2 hour and was ticketed in 15 minutes. This is terrible for business. I wonder if it was due to the new sensors that were installed this week. Please help!

Hi all,
I am the New Haven reporter at the New Haven Register and I am looking to write a story today about the sensors on the meters. Apparently it is part of a pilot program the city is in the midst of but I am hoping to hear some feedback from drivers on this. Please call or email me with your experiences at 203-789-5714 or asanders@nhregister.com Thank you.
Best,
Alexandra Sanders

These meters have been repaired. Please note: City Ordinance states that drivers need to move their vehicles to another parking space if the current parking meter is not functioning properly.
