If Americans write "meters" instead of "metres" (the street is 300 meters long), how do they write "meters" as in parking meters?

If they are both the same, how do they distinguish between the two?

@luv2fish That's a new one on me. Where did you get that from?

@HeadGirl Just made it up. Our city just putting in parking meters (aka parking stall bandits) all over the city and is charging everyong $3/hr to park where it was all free before. So we don't go downtown anymore.
