1. (1) When a parking meter operated by any public body as defined in ORS 174.109 is out of service, a person may park a vehicle in any parking space regulated by the out-of-service meter:

   1. (a) If the space is one in which the vehicle would otherwise be allowed to park;
   2. (b) For the maximum amount of time that would otherwise be allowed for the space; and
   3. (c) Without payment of the parking fee that would otherwise be charged for the space for that amount of time.
2. (2) Subsection (1) of this section does not apply if a notice prohibiting parking in the space is clearly posted at the space and where payment of the fee would be required if the meter were in service.
3. (3) A person may not be cited for a vehicle that is lawfully parked in a space when parking in the space becomes prohibited.
