Rules and Regulations

Purpose

WAC 132N-156-300

The parking and traffic rules and regulations contained herein provide a fair and uniform method of regulating College vehicular, nonvehicular, and pedestrian traffic and are based on the following objectives:

  • To protect and control vehicular, nonvehicular, and pedestrian traffic.
  • To assure access at all times for emergency equipment.
  • To minimize traffic disturbances during class hours.
  • To facilitate the work of the College by assuring access for College vehicles and by assigning the limited parking spaces to the most efficient use.
  • To protect College facilities.

Permission to park or operate a vehicle on College property is governed by these regulations. The purchase of a permit for designated parking does not ensure the regular availability of a parking space.


Authority

WAC 132N-156-310

Pursuant to RCW 28B.50.140(10), the Board is granted authority to establish rules and regulations for pedestrians and vehicular and nonvehicular traffic over property owned, operated, and/or maintained by the College.

The enforcement of these rules and regulations shall be the responsibility of the Security/Safety Office.

Security officers are authorized to issue parking and traffic citations, impound and/or immobilize vehicles, and control and regulate facilities use, traffic, and parking as prescribed in these rules and regulations.

Any person interfering with a College security officer in the discharge of the provisions of these rules and regulations shall be in violation of RCW 9A.76.020, Obstructing Governmental Operation, and may be subject to arrest by a peace officer.

Failure by students to abide by these rules and regulations may be considered to be a violation of the Code of Student Conduct Chapter 132N-120 WAC, as applicable.
