Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a)
					 Restricted areas
(1) Loading zones -
					 deliveries. Each building on the campus and each dining hall is provided with a
					 loading zone adjacent to the building. No parking is permitted in these loading
					 zones except as specifically marked for State vehicles and for persons with
					 special needs. "Standing" is permitted in loading zones while a delivery or
					 pick-up is being made. Such "standing" is presumed to be short in duration and
					 is not to exceed the period during which the vehicle is required to complete
					 loading or unloading. After 15 minutes, all vehicles used for pick-up or
					 delivery must be attended. An attended vehicle is defined as one with the
					 driver helper, or a member of the college staff able to move the vehicle and in
					 the immediate vicinity of the vehicle.
(2) Fire zones and fire lanes
(i) Each loading zone is by definition a fire
					 zone. Additional fire zones adjacent to a building may be established from time
					 to time by the Chief of University Police. Fire zones are areas, paved or
					 unpaved, that permit firefighting equipment to come as close to the building as
					 possible. They are also areas within 15 feet around a fire hydrant or a stand
					 pipe connection. No parking is allowed in a fire zone at any time except as
					 defined above. Any vehicle parked in a fire zone id subject to towing at any
					 time.
(ii) For purposes of traffic
					 control, roadways on the campus are divided into two classifications:
					 peripheral or arterial roads and access roads. An example of the former is the
					 Ring Road around the college campus, in addition to Apple, Birch and Cherry
					 Roads, hereinafter referred to as "A," "B," and "C" Gate Roads. An example of
					 the latter is the narrow road leading to Empire State College, parking lot
					 roadways and entrances to and exits from parking bays. All access roads are by
					 definition fire lanes. Neither parking nor standing is permitted in a fire
					 lane. While in general the college will attempt to mark all fire lanes and all
					 fire zones, lack of such marking will not relieve a violator of responsibility
					 for obeying this Part. All walkways on campus are by definition fire lanes and
					 similar restrictions apply.
(3) Walkways. Any paved way on the campus
					 that is not defined as a roadway is by definition a walkway. No driving is
					 permitted on any walk-way except under emergency circumstances. Emergencies are
					 presumed to refer to the need to bring fire, rescue, ambulance or police
					 vehicles close to a building in order to safeguard lives or property. The use
					 of walkways by vendors, any State service vehicle, and contractor personnel is
					 explicitly forbidden. Where exceptional circumstances require vehicle access to
					 a walkway, permission must be obtained in advance from the Chief of University
					 Police on a case by case basis. Permission in one instance is not a precedent
					 and does not carry over to like circumstances in the future.
(4) Dedicated spaces
(i) From time to time various units of the
					 college establish temporary dedicated parking spaces. These spaces are not
					 considered official when they apply to individuals, whether identified by name
					 or by title. The only dedicated spaces that have official sanction either
					 temporarily or on a permanent basis, are those established by the Chief of
					 University Police.
(ii) All
					 visitors to campus shall first stop at the University Police Department to
					 obtain a temporary parking pass.
