“No Parking"
Areas
Safety precautions necessitate some "No Parking"
areas on the UCF campus. These areas must remain clear to permit
other vehicles, to include emergency, service, and maintenance
vehicles, to maneuver safely through the area. The absence of
“No Parking” signs does not always
mean that parking is permitted in an area. An example
would be parking alongside curbed areas inside paved parking lots.
Loading Zones
Loading Zones are located in areas where parking may be limited,
yet in areas where many people may need access.
For short-term parking needs, most buildings have “Loading
Zones” that allow parking for service vehicles only. Some
posted signs indicate the amount of time permitted. Some Loading
Zones on campus are signed with posted time limits to provide
access for individuals who depend on these spaces to make timely
deliveries. The time limits encourage high turnover in areas where
high turnover is needed. Vehicle operators should always check
for signs depicting posted time limits.
For deliveries, Loading Zones should be used for delivering heavy items only. Persons delivering small packages are encouraged to use parking meters or designated short-term parking areas. If metered spaces are used, all posted fees must be paid.
Loading Zones are also available for the immediate pick-up and drop-off of passengers, and to provide disabled persons a place to be picked up or dropped off safely. During these instances, the drivers of vehicles picking up or dropping off passengers MUST remain with the vehicle.
All Loading Zones are designated tow- away zones, and are enforced
24 hours per day.
