On a visit to Denmark I saw their simple system. You car has a plastic clock face mounted on the inside of the windshield. When you park, you set the clock hands to the current time. Parking enforcement then knows how long the car has been there. If you try to cheat and set a later time, and get caught, you get a fine. If you overstay the time limit, you get a fine.
No meters, no coin collection, no apps, no accounts, no personal data. Very simple and effective.
