Section 516-12-470 - Enforcement

(1) Parking regulations are subject to enforcement throughout the calendar year unless otherwise posted.

(a) All parking lots have restrictions, which are posted on regulatory signs at lot entrances and within the lots. When there is a conflict, parking services' authorized on-site signs take precedence over other regulations, parking maps, or verbal or written instruction regarding parking information.

(b) Intersession regulations will be determined and published by the assistant director of the student business office and parking services as required.

(c) Enforcement measures are cumulative; using one or more enforcement measures will not prohibit the use of additional measures.

(d) The violation of any parking regulation by other vehicles does not constitute a valid excuse for violating these regulations.

(2) Citations. It is prohibited to park and citations may be issued to vehicles:

(a) Without a valid permit;

(b) Double parked;

(c) Parked in more than one parking space;

(d) In a reserved space without a proper permit;

(e) In a no parking area;

(f) In an accessible parking space without a proper permit and state issued placard;

(g) In fire lanes, service roads, fire exits or within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant;

(h) In service entrances, construction sites, spaces reserved for maintenance vehicles, disability access areas, dumpster access;

(i) On lawns, sidewalks, walk zones, crosswalks, parking lot driveways, straddling painted lines or buttons, or angle parking where prohibited;

(j) Exceeding time in loading zones or short-term spaces;

(k) In areas where a permit is not valid;

(l) Against the flow of traffic;

(m) In areas or spaces closed by barricades or other control devices;

(n) With a license plate that is not exposed to the lane of travel, is not clearly visible, or is obstructed.

(3) Continued violations. A vehicle which remains in violation of any regulation may receive additional citations for every four hours of the violation.

(4) Impoundment by towing or wheel lock:

(a) All violators are subject to having their vehicles impounded through the use of towing or the wheel lock device at their own risk and expense.

(b) Any vehicle may be towed away if the vehicle:

(i) Has been immobilized by wheel lock for more than twenty-four hours;

(ii) Is parked in such a manner as to endanger or potentially endanger the university community or their property or state property;

(iii) Is parked in a fire lane blocking traffic or other posted tow-away zone;

(v) Is left under circumstances which indicate it has been abandoned;

(vi) Cannot be immobilized with the wheel lock device;

(vii) When a university police officer has probable cause to believe the vehicle is stolen;

(viii) When a university police officer has probable cause to believe that the vehicle contains or constitutes evidence of a crime, and in the police officer's judgment impoundment is necessary to obtain or preserve such evidence;

(ix) When a driver is arrested and/or deprived of the right to leave with the driver's vehicle, and the university police are responsible for the "safekeeping" of the vehicle; or

(x) Is parked at any time on campus when parking privileges have been revoked.

(c) Any vehicle may be immobilized by use of a wheel lock device if the vehicle:

(i) Has an accumulation of two or more unpaid parking tickets, regardless of appeal status, (the second of which has been outstanding for more than seventy-two hours); or

(ii) Has parking privileges revoked.

(d) The university assumes no responsibility or liability for damages which may result from use of the wheel lock device, towing, storage, or attempts to move a vehicle with a wheel lock device installed.
