ARTICLE VI. PARKING REGULATIONS

In order to permit the proper conduct of the necessary business of the University and in order to effectively utilize and control the limited available parking areas and facilities on the campus of the University for the benefit and maximum convenience of visitors, students, faculty and staff members, the following regulations governing parking on the campus of the University are hereby established:

Sec. 1. No person shall stop or park any vehicle in any street or roadway except for the purpose of parking or stopping as established in these regulations unless such stop is made necessary by the approach of an emergency vehicle, by the approach of any procession which is given the right-of-way, by the stopping of a public conveyance, by the giving of traffic signals, by the passing of some other vehicle or pedestrian, or by some emergency; and in any case covered by these exceptions vehicles shall not obstruct any crosswalk, walkway, or intersection.

Sec. 2. No person shall stop or park any vehicle upon a street or roadway in such a manner or under such conditions so as to block the movement of vehicular traffic, except that a driver may stop temporarily during the actual loading or unloading of passengers, or when directed or required to stop by traffic signs or signals or the instructions of a peace officer. This section shall not be deemed to prohibit vehicles making deliveries from making the necessary use of ways designed principally as access to the delivery entrance of buildings.

Sec. 3. No person shall park a vehicle at any time or place on the campus of the University except in spaces marked or designated for parking pursuant to these regulations. When signs are placed, erected, or installed, giving regulatory notice thereof, or the curbing or street has been painted so as to give such notice in lieu of signs, such areas are designated as “no parking areas” and no person shall park a vehicle in these designated areas or places unless authorized to do so by proper authority.

Sec. 4. No person shall park a vehicle in any area, parking area, parking lot, or parking space on the campus for which the parking permit displayed on the vehicle is not valid.

When, pursuant to the authorization and approval of the Board of Trustees, signs are placed, erected, or installed in conspicuous places prescribing a maximum permissible time that a vehicle may park in any parking space, area, or lot, no person shall park a vehicle for a period of time longer than that indicated by such signs. The moving of a parked vehicle from one restricted space to another restricted space in the same block or same restricted area does not generate a new time frame for permissible parking, and the sequence of parking is deemed to be one continuous parking period for the purpose of determining overtime parking violations.

Sec. 6. When a particular angle or manner of parking is indicated in a parking area or parking lot by signs or markings, no person shall park a vehicle except at the angle or in the manner indicated, and no vehicle shall be parked in such a manner as to occupy more than the space indicated with lines, stop blocks, signs, or markings. Further, all parking on two-way campus streets will be on the right side with the vehicle facing with the direction of the traffic flow for that side of the street. Parking on both sides of one-way campus streets will be in accordance with displayed parking signs or markings with the vehicle facing the direction of the traffic flow.

Sec. 7. Parking in the following places is hereby prohibited: on a sidewalk or walkway; on grass or lawns; in front of a public driveway or service drive; within an intersection; on a crosswalk; on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge of a street or roadway, whether the parked vehicle is parallel or at an angle to the curb or edge; in the driving lanes of parking areas; in the approaches or other portions of parking areas which are clearly marked as being prohibited for parking.

Sec. 8. All expired parking permits, whether permanent or temporary, shall upon expiration immediately be removed from the vehicle by the owner or lawful operator of the vehicle.

Sec. 9 The owner of an unregistered vehicle shall be responsible for all parking violations committed by that vehicle.

Sec.10. When it appears that a violation of parking regulations has occurred, and no recklessness, intoxication, or serious injury to person or property is involved, the law enforcement officer, or other agents designated by the Administrative Officer, or his designate, detecting the apparent violation is authorized to take the State license number and the University parking permit number (if available) of the vehicle involved and to place a written notice of the violation in or on the vehicle, or to serve the notice in person if the owner or operator is present. When neither State license number or University parking permit number is available, the serial number of the vehicle may be taken in lieu thereof.

Sec.11. Parking regulations are in effect twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, unless otherwise directed by signs.

Sec.12. The Administrative Officer, or his designate, shall cause to be erected, placed, or installed all signs and markings as required by these regulations.

Sec.13. Faculty/Staff and student vehicles shall not park in visitors spaces or in reserved spaces unless said spaces are reserved for the staff member or student parked therein. Further, faculty/staff and student vehicles shall not park in service drives unless a special service vehicle parking permit has been issued for and displayed upon the vehicle parked therein.

Sec.14. No person shall park a vehicle in an area, parking area, parking lot, or parking space of the campus for which the parking permit displayed on the vehicle is not valid.
