>My expectation here is that, unless otherwise posted there is no maximum time period you can park. Putting coins in the meter buys you parking rights for a certain period of time. The more coins you put in, the longer that time period becomes. You can add additional length at any time merely by putting in additional coins.

But here on the east coast, at least in downtown areas, almost any metered space also has a posted time limit.
