What are the rules for 2 hour parking in Los Angeles?

The 2 hour limit starts at 8am, so your clock would start ticking at 8am. At 10am you could technically move to another spot on the street and get 2 more hours. If it's a metered spot, just keep it filled, but you can't put in more than 2hrs change at a time, the meter won't take it till the time decreases.
