If more than one motorcycle remains parked in any parking space beyond the parking time limit fixed for the parking space, each motorcycle shall be in violation. In that event, the vehicle and/or each motorcycle is parking overtime and beyond the period of legal parking time and subject to the provisions of Section 12.24.120.
