Traffic and Parking
Enterprise State Community College and Alabama Aviation College security teams strive to provide security of the College, to protect life and property, to maintain an efficient traffic control and parking system, to prevent crime, and to serve the College’s community.
On-campus Parking Regulations
The College provides designated on-campus parking areas to accommodate as many vehicles as possible. Certain rules and regulations are necessary to assure maximum utilization of these areas. The use of an automobile on campus is considered a privilege, not a right. The following regulations have been established for everyone’s safety:
Students, Faculty, and Staff must register their vehicles and must park in their designated areas, Monday-Friday. The types of campus parking zones are as follows:
- Visitors
- Faculty/Staff (Permit Required)
- Handicapped (Permit Required)
- Students (Permit Required)
- No Parking Zones
Parking areas in front of Wallace Hall on the Enterprise campus are reserved for employees, visitors, and handicap-permitted vehicles.
*If a registered vehicle becomes disabled and a rental vehicle is used, a temporary parking permit is issued for a period of twenty-one (21) days. A new vehicle purchase is also eligible for a temporary parking permit for twenty-one (21) days to allow for state license plate issuance.
- Faculty and Staff may not, without authority, excuse citations or give students permission to use faculty/staff areas.
- Parking in loading or no-parking zones is prohibited.
- Traffic signs must be obeyed.
- Speed on campus roads is limited to 20 m.P.H. And in parking lots to 10 m.P.H. Any speed not safe for conditions of the road, including vehicular and pedestrian congestion, is prohibited.
- All parking lots are “one way” traffic.
- All parking will conform to marked-off areas. All parallel parking will be within twelve (12) inches of the curb.
- Driving or parking on the grass (except dirt parking lots, baseball or softball fields), sidewalks, or crosswalks or parking on yellow curbing is prohibited. Yellow curbs are either “reserved” or “no parking” zones.
- Double parking is prohibited at all times.
- Parking on or over a line or curb is prohibited.
- Motorists must yield to pedestrians.
- Vehicles are not to be left on location after school hours without first notifying campus police.
- Students should not leave purses, radar detectors, books, stereos, or other valuables clearly visible in unattended vehicles, and vehicles should be locked. Magnetically mounted antennas should be removed, and all easily accessible items should be locked in the trunk of the automobile for safekeeping. All valuables left in the vehicle are the responsibility of the owner and the college is not responsible for loss or damage.
Each violation will result in a citation, and a fine may be assessed. Any individual who wishes to appeal a parking ticket shall submit an appeal to the Chief of Safety and Security within five (5) school days of the citation; otherwise, the right of appeal is waived.
Individuals shall have their appeals processed within thirty (30) days of the date of the citation. The time for appealing a traffic/parking citation is Monday–Thursday, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. or Friday, 7:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. All appeals are reviewed by the Chief of Safety and Security. All appeal decisions shall be submitted to the individual in writing.
