(a)
					 General. Parking on the campus is controlled by this Part, provisions of the
					 Vehicle and Traffic Law, and orders of the Department of Transportation. No
					 part of the campus motor vehicle regulations may be abrogated or mitigated by
					 any official of the college without appropriate clearance through the Chief of
					 University Police. The Chief of Police may make recommendations to the
					 president and such changes and amendments may be made by the college council
					 with the approval of the trustees. Statements by college employees, if made in
					 error, regarding the suitability of parking in a certain area will not relieve
					 the driver of responsibility. Similar strictures apply to notes left on
					 windshields or inside the car. If extraordinary emergency circumstances arise
					 the driver is advised to call the University Police Department and ask for
					 assistance.
(1) Summary regulations. The
					 Vehicle and Traffic Law shall apply upon such premises notwithstanding any
					 references in such to public highways, streets, or sidewalks. Orders of the
					 Department of Transportation heretofore or hereafter promulgated for State
					 University shall continue in full force and effect. A complaint regarding any
					 violation of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, any Department of Transportation
					 order or any traffic ordinance applicable on such premises shall be processed
					 in accordance with the requirements of the applicable law.
(i) All motor vehicles operated on campus
					 must be registered with the college and display the appropriate college
					 permit.
(ii) Vehicles may be parked
					 only within the lines designating a parking space whenever provided.
(iii) Vehicles may not be parked in any area
					 other than one designated for parking.
(iv) Vehicles may not be operated except on
					 authorized roadways or parking areas.
(v) Vehicles must be operated in such a
					 manner as not to endanger or injure pedestrians, property, or other vehicles
					 and drivers.
(vi) Vehicles may not
					 be operated beyond posted speed limits. No person shall drive a vehicle on
					 university streets, roads or highways at a speed greater than is reasonable and
					 prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and potential
					 hazards then existing, but in no event shall a person drive a vehicle in excess
					 of 30 miles per hour unless a different speed is authorized and indicated by
					 the university or the Department of Transportation.
(vii) Vehicles may not park or stand in such
					 a way that traffic, walks, hydrants, fire lanes or college operations are
					 obstructed. Parking is prohibited on all campus roads at all times, including
					 access roads and service roads.
(viii) Drivers on campus must obey all State
					 and college regulations and all provisions of the State Vehicle and Traffic
					 Law, posted signs, and the directions of college personnel who have been
					 delegated the responsibility for traffic regulations, parking supervision, and
					 the safety of persons and property on campus.
(ix) Vehicles that are inoperative, abandoned
					 or are stored on campus are subject to removal at the owner's
					 expense.
