Parking on Campus
Since parking on campus is a privilege, the following rules need to be followed.
Where to Park
A legal parking space is defined as an area marked with two white lines spaced far enough apart to allow a vehicle to park safely between. Areas that have a line on one side and a curb on the other are considered to be a legal parking space. The responsibility for locating legal parking spaces rests with the operator of the motor vehicle.
Illegal Parking Areas Are:
- Students parked in Visitors spaces.
- Anyone parked in handicapped spaces without permit.
- Anyone parked on grass.
- Anyone parked on sidewalks.
- Anyone parked in fire lanes.
- Anyone parked within 15 feet of a fire hydrant.
- Anyone parked in traffic lanes impeding the flow of traffic.
- Anyone blocking dumpsters.
- Anyone parked in tow-away zones.
- Anyone parked across the yellow lines (diagonal lines).
- Anyone parked in more than one parking space.
- Anyone parked in areas not marked for parking.
- Anyone parked in a “No Parking” area.
- Anyone parked against the normal flow of traffic creating a safety hazard and blocking a drive way or in any way disrupting the orderly flow of traffic.
- Anyone parked in Vistors spaces using a handicapp placard.
Other Violations:
A citation will be issued when a violation of one of the following occurs:
- No RCC parking permit displayed.
- Expired RCC parking permit displayed.
- Mutilated or defaced RCC parking permit displayed.
- Placing RCC parking permit where it is not readable to the Security Officer.
- Displaying a parking permit that cannot be read.
The BOOT:
The “BOOT” will be used when the vehicle operator has repeatedly failed to comply with RCC Traffic Rules and Regulations. Do not attempt to move the vehicle with the “BOOT” attached. The vehicle could be damaged. Contact the Security Office by phone: 272-3506, Emergency Callbox, or come to the Institutional Services Office, Building #2.
A traffic fine of five ($5.00) dollars must be paid before the “BOOT” is removed.
Those without an authorized work order will be cited, booted, or towed. Whenever any motor vehicle is found to be parked contrary to or in violation of the provisions of any parking regulation, it shall be assumed that the vehicle was parked by the person to whom the vehicle is registered.
