Opening and Closing of School Students are permitted to have vehicles on campus during the opening and closing periods of each semester, as authorized by Public Safety. Please note that parking is restricted to assigned lots and white-lined spaces only; restricted areas are off-limits. We recommend purchasing a KU parking decal at the start of each semester at KU Business Services, located in 107 Academic Forum. Students should contact Public Safety and Police Services to confirm the exact dates for this "open parking" arrangement. Safe Driving The maximum speed limit on campus is (15) miles per hour, unless otherwise posted. Safe driving practices must be adhered to at all times. Violators will be fined and/or possibly lose their parking privilege. Skateboards, Scooters, Hoverboards, Roller Skates, and Roller Blades Policy (STU–024) To minimize the risk of personal injury and property damage upon the campus of Kutztown University: • Due to concerns regarding fire safety and operator safety, the use, possession or storage of hoverboards and similar devices is not permitted anywhere on the Kutztown University campus. • The use of skateboards, scooters, hoverboards, roller skates, or roller blades and similar devices – hereafter riding devices - is prohibited within all buildings upon the campus of Kutztown University. • Riding devices, of any type, shall not be ridden upon any stairway, wall, bench, fountain, or other structure or facility or on or over landscaping, shrubbery, grass or flower beds. Operators may not do tricks or stunts. Such devices are limited to use as transportation. • Riding devices may only be used upon pedestrian pathways. Riding such devices on roadways or in parking lots is strictly prohibited at all times – because the University has determined that such uses would present unacceptable risks of injury to riders and other users, and unacceptable impeding of motor vehicle traffic in such areas. Also, the University may identify and by appropriate signage designate certain areas in which riding of any particular type of riding device is prohibited (e.g., it may designate certain pedestrian pathways as off - limits for skateboard riding because risk of personal injury are heightened due to steep grades or congestion). Persons riding such devices shall comply with all official traffic control devices and signs including posted signs prohibiting riding in a particular designated location. Device users may dismount and carry their devices across any pedestrian accessible area in which riding of such devices is prohibited. • Every person operating a riding device in any pedestrian accessible area shall yield the right of way to pedestrians at all times. • Every person riding a device shall ride their device in a controlled manner and shall exercise due care and reasonable caution to prevent injury to others, to self, or to property. Individuals using such devices upon the campus of Kutztown University do so at their own risk. • Riding devices may not be operated two or more abreast on any pedestrian pathway, except as part of a university approved competition or function.
