Asked Questions (Back)
|
|
1. |
I
just throw the citations away.
Why should I follow the parking regulations?
|
|
Parking
regulations are in effect to create a fair and safe parking
environment. Citations
issued by Salisbury University Police are written under the Maryland
Uniform Citation Code and carry the weight and importance of
citations issued by any law enforcement agency in the state of
Maryland. Fines not paid within 15 days will incur a $10
late fee, fines not paid within 21 days will incur a $20 late
fee and be placed on the violator's account at the Cashier's
Office. |
| 2. |
As
a part-time or evening commuter student, do I really need to
purchase a parking hangtag? |
|
Yes,
everyone is required to purchase a permit if they park on
campus. |
| 3. |
If
I have a valid parking permit, can I park at a meter without
paying?
|
|
No,
meters are intended for visitors, although students may utilize
parking meters as long as time is on the meter for the period of
time the vehicle is parked.
|
| 4. |
What
should I do if I lose my parking permit?
|
|
If the
permit is lost or stolen, it must be reported immediately to the
University Police prior to being able to purchase a replacement.
The replacement fee is the same amount as the original fee. |
| 5. |
If
I receive a parking citation and have a valid parking permit, do
I have to pay the fine?
|
|
Bring the citation and
your permit to the Office of Parking Services. Once we
verified you have a valid permit, the citation will be voided. |
| 6. |
I
was told that if you are handy with computer graphics, that you can make your
own permit. My friend told
me that they "found" a permit and used it.
|
|
Any permit that has been reported as lost or stolen and is being fraudulently displayed in a vehicle other than the registered vehicle
will result in a fine. A vehicle found displaying a counterfeit permit
will also result in a fine.
|
| 7. |
Is it
all right to park in front of a building as long as I put on my
flasher for a short period? |
|
No, not even
for 1 minute. If no
one is in the vehicle, it is considered a safety violation and a
prohibited parking citation may be issued. |
