General Information

The President of Maryville College approves these regulations.
The College Security Department has the responsibility and the legal authority for the enforcement of the Traffic and Parking Regulations.
The use, possession, and parking of an automobile while a student, employee, or visitor of Maryville College is considered a privilege. The abuse of that privilege will result in the denial of automobile use on Maryville College property.
The College considers the use of a vehicle on campus a convenience and is not obligated to furnish unlimited parking space to accommodate all vehicles. The College will, however, attempt to provide a reasonable number of parking spaces in keeping with available resources. The purchase/possession of a parking permit in no way guarantees an individual a parking space on campus.
Every person operating a motor vehicle on College property is held responsible for obeying all College traffic and parking regulations as well as all city and state parking and traffic regulations. Individuals who disregard the instructions of a campus staff member/employee and park their vehicle in defiance of those instructions will be subject to the immediate towing of their vehicle.
The term “College property” is interpreted to include all properties under the control and jurisdiction of the Board of Directors of Maryville College.
The term “Visitor” is interpreted to mean an individual with no official connections with the College as a student, faculty, staff member, or employee of private contractors assigned to Maryville College.
Individually assigned visitor parking places are set aside for special interest areas of the College. College personnel, students, or employees of private contractors assigned to Maryville College may not utilize these spaces. These spaces are reserved for official visitors to the College.
Accessibility parking is provided in many parking lots on campus. These spaces are reserved 24-hours a day, seven days a week for the holders of disability parking permits.
If a vehicle becomes temporarily inoperable and cannot be parked in its assigned area, it must be reported to Safety and Security. The fact that the vehicle is temporarily inoperable will be recorded and a campus Safety and Security Officer will either render assistance or authorize temporary parking. Temporary parking will only be authorized for 24-hours or less. If parking for a longer period is necessary, it must be renewed at 24- hour intervals. Temporary parking will not be authorized in areas that are not parking spaces (tow away or no parking zones, etc.) or in disabled accessibility parking.
A permit may not be purchased for display on an inoperable vehicle. For these purposes, an inoperable vehicle is a vehicle that has been unusable for more than two weeks.
Services such as “jump starts” are offered by Safety and Security as time permits. Safety and Security does not change flats, unlock cars, push or tow cars, or perform any major automotive service. Campus officers will help find assistance when possible.
The speed limit on campus roadways and thoroughfares is 20 mph; the speed limit within the parking lots is 10 mph.
Vehicles are not to be operated in any manner so as to constitute vehicular/pedestrian traffic hazards or to impede the flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
Pedestrians on campus have the right of way at all times.
Students, faculty and staff are expected to be familiar with and abide by these regulations at all times. The fact that a certain citation is not issued when a vehicle illegally parks does not mean or imply that the regulation or law is no longer in effect.
Vehicles parked on campus, which are considered to be abandoned, will be towed.
The responsibility for obtaining knowledge of all laws and regulations in force rests with the motor vehicle operator.

Always lock vehicles and drive safely.
