In general, parking is prohibited in the following locations:

• Reserved spaces without a valid permit
• Designated "No Parking" areas
• Doorways, loading zones, service entrances, construction sites, and spaces reserved for maintenance vehicles
• Lawns, sidewalks, crosswalks, parking lot driveways, and across painted lines
• Areas where the permit is not valid
• Over or adjacent to yellow lines on curbs

Parking Stall Designation

Parking is permitted only in marked stalls in paved lots and as directed in gravel lots.

• White Stalls -- Stalls are marked by white lines on each side or by T's on parallel parking spaces.
• Unmarked Areas -- No parking is permitted in any area not identified as a parking space.

Flashers or hazard lights are to be used for emergencies only. Their use in other circumstances does not exempt you from parking regulations.
