I. General Regulations
A. These regulations were established through
the cooperative endeavors of the Student Government Association
Committee on Traffic and the administration of the University.
B. The University reserves the right to regulate
the use of motor vehicles on campus and to forbid the use of a
motor vehicle by any person whose conduct in any way indicates
that he or she is not complying with the regulations. The observance
of these rules and regulations is indicative of good citizenship
on the part of the student or employee of the University. In addition,
all federal, state and local laws governing the operation of a
motor vehicle must be observed.
C. The University assumes no financial responsibility
for theft or damage to motor vehicles or their contents when the
vehicles are parked or operated on campus or elsewhere.
D. The registrant of a motor vehicle shall be
held responsible for all parking citations issued against the vehicle.
Moving violations will be charged to the operator of the vehicle.
E. The use of loud mufflers or other unusual
noise-making devices on a motor vehicle is not permitted on campus.
F. Stop signs, signals, crosswalks and other
regulator devices will be observed at all times. Pedestrians shall
have the right of way at all designated crosswalks and campus street
intersections.
G. A citation for a traffic violation should
not be discussed with the police officer as he or she has no authority
to settle the matter once a ticket has been issued. Such matters
shall be taken directly to the Tennessee Tech Police Department.
H. A student’s possession and use of a
motor vehicle on campus is a privilege that may be revoked for
reasons designed by University officials. Such reasons may include:
- Possession or use of alcoholic beverages or drugs while operating
a vehicle;
- Irresponsible operation of a vehicle;
- Leaving the scene of an accident;
- Failure to report an accident involving personal injury or
property damage;
- Excessive violations of regulations;
- Falsifying vehicle registration or gaining such registration
under false pretense;
