I haven't been ticketed for parking at an expired meter for years either! Laws may have varying levels of enforcement, is one thing. Google AI agrees that it's generally illegal. I can't look up every single municipality of course, but here's a few. It certainly may not be universal, but it is not unusual, I don't have figures on how popular it is, maybe not as popular as I thought, but it's not at all unusual! Rockville MD: "If a parking meter is not registering time with the insertion of coins, debit/credit card or ParkMobile, you must either park elsewhere or pay with another payment method available" https://www.rockvillemd.gov/274/Public-Parking https://www.rockvillemd.gov/274/Public-Parking Chicago: "Overstuffed meters wouldn't accept quarters, leading to broken meters and tickets for the parkers who tried to use them." https://www.governing.com/archive/chicago-parking-meters.html https://www.governing.com/archive/chicago-parking-meters.htm... Bellingham Washington: "City code prohibits parking in a space if the meter is broken." https://cob.org/wp-content/uploads/parking-meter-info.pdf https://cob.org/wp-content/uploads/parking-meter-info.pdf
