Abstract

An electronic parking meter (10/50) comprising a display device (20/56), a timer (24, 31/62, 67, 64) and a control means (28/62) operable to set the timing device (24, 31/62, 67/64) in operation for a purchased parking time in response to insertion of coins into the meter. The display device (20/56) is arranged to give an initial display of purchased time, but for this display to be inhibited shortly afterwards so that a user of a previously vacant parking lot controlled by the meter cannot determine from the meter whether there is any unexpired parking time left for that lot by a preceding user. In one form, the meter is controlled by a central processing unit (62) and is arranged for storage in a memory (64) of user supplied data such as vehicle registration number and parking lot identification, as well as of purchased time. For controlling several parking lots by the meter, the meter is provided with a selector (22/52) enabling the user to select a desired parking lot.
