that also allow parking at the Longwood Village community. All vehicles utilizing any campus parking facilities must be registered and display the appro-
priate permit. All outstanding parking citations must be paid prior to vehicle registration. All student guests must also display a parking permit (guest
pass) which is available at no charge from Parking Services and Police Dispatch.

registration from the Longwood website. Vehicles may be registered in the following manner:

E. Loading/unloading locations have been designated throughout the campus. Parking in these areas is limited to ten (10) minutes WITH the use of
hazard lights. During peak times of check-in and check-out, University Police will be available to provide assistance. Drivers are duly warned that

street facing the traffic flow.

ed by the Parking Services Manager based on certain exemption criteria. All requests for exceptions must be made in writing. See the Freshman
Motor Vehicle Policy below.
I. Students who opt to act as Designated Drivers will be accepting all liability related to such action. Designated Drivers may not park out of their
decal zones overnight.
GUEST PARKING
A. A limited number of two hour visitor parking spaces are available on campus. Students, faculty, and staff of the University may not use visitor
spaces at any time as they are not considered visitors to the campus.
B. If a guest is to be on campus anytime during the day, Monday through Friday, the host and guest MUST come to the Parking Services Office to
receive a guest pass for the visitor’s car. Guests of students will be instructed to park in the Pine St. South Lot. Failure to register a guest’s car is
not grounds for appeal. Remember that all vehicles parking on University property must display a Longwood parking permit or guest pass.
C. Guest permits will be required on all guest vehicles on the main campus Monday through 5:00pm Friday. During business hours a guest pass may
be obtained from Parking Services, Office of Cashiering in 201A Lancaster Hall. If a guest arrives after business hours, the guest pass may be
obtained from the Police Dispatch Office in the lower level of Dorrill Hall. The information required for the permit includes the vehicle license tag
number, vehicle description, and the guests address.

dents residing at Longwood Village are to park in the areas identified for visitor use, this includes students visiting who have different permit types.

E. Faculty and staff needing guest parking may email their needs to Campus Police at parkingreservations@longwood.edu. If planning parking for an
event, your request must be filed with the Conference and Scheduling Office at the time you make your facility request as parking spaces consid-
ered campus resources. Events requiring large numbers of parking spaces or that require you to send invitations should be made known to us at
least one month in advance in writing. Guest passes can still be obtained from Parking Services in 201A Lancaster Hall.
PARKING VIOLATIONS
A. The Parking Services Office and Longwood Police Department are charged with the enforcement of all parking regulations. Parking citations for
unregistered (any car not exhibiting a parking permit) or improperly parked vehicles will be issued year round, whenever the University is open,
regardless if classes are in session or not.
B. Automobiles parked illegally in areas listed below will be issued a parking citation and may be towed at the owner’s expense. Please note that all

agency. A hold will be placed on the record of any student when he or she has unpaid fines. If the vehicle appears on the campus after the suspen-
sion of privileges has occurred, the vehicle may be towed, a $50.00 fine may be assessed, and/or disciplinary action may be taken. Seniors will have
a hold placed on their records prior to graduation unless ALL fines have been paid. Disregard of the parking regulations may result in the revoca-
tion of parking privileges.
E. If a driver accumulates three or more unpaid parking citations, the driver’s vehicle may be towed at the owner’s expense. Vehicles parked in
tow-away zones will be towed. If a driver accumulates five (5) tickets in one semester, his or her privilege to park on the campus may be sus-
pended. Suspension will be for the remainder of the current semester and all of the next. There will be no refunding of the unused parking per-
mit balance in such instances. The Parking Appeals Committee will hear appeals for these suspensions.
PARKING CITATION APPEALS COMMITTEE

does not create the policy but is charged with the task of enforcing policy. It will also review all appeals for the reinstatement of suspended parking
privileges.

feited. If an appeal is denied, payment will be due upon receipt of the notification letter.

non-student use. Students must file online from myLongwood, under the student tab, in the automobile registration parking section.

and regulations. Attachments such as pictures, receipts, or repair and wrecker bills may be included with the appeal if it is felt that evidence will
have a bearing on the case. The following are examples of situations not considered acceptable grounds for appeals:

If there is no sidewalk, pedestrians are required to stay to the extreme left edge of the road and walk facing the oncoming traffic. Sidewalks Pedestrians have the right of way on sidewalks. Sidewalks are constructed to keep pedestrians safe. Bicyclists should ride more slowly and be more alert on side- walks — particularly when approaching a pedestrian. When passing a pedestrian when on a sidewalk, the bicyclist preferably should be traveling no faster than the pedestrian. The bicyclist should give an audible warning such as “bike on your left!,” and wait for the pedestrian to move over. Motorists should look for pedestrians and bicyclists, and yield to them when turning across sidewalks. When crossing a sidewalk, motorists should scan enough of the sidewalk to see higher-speed bicyclists. Even though they have the right of way on sidewalks, pedestrians can avoid crashes by paying atten- tion to motor vehicle and bicycle traffic. Pedestrians should make eye contact with motorists and bicyclists to be sure to be seen when cross- ing streets, sidewalks, crosswalks, paths, and driveways. Crosswalks Pedestrians are required by law to cross at crosswalks whenever possible. Crosswalks may be marked or painted on the street. In addition, crosswalks occur wherever side- walks meet the street and where streets intersect. This type of crosswalk is called an “unmarked crosswalk” in the Code of Virginia. Crossing at crosswalks allows pedestrians to cross in locations where motorists expect them. However, crashes often occur at intersections, so motorists and pedestrians must be alert. Scan and Cross Before crossing, stop, look LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT (and over the shoulder) for approaching and turning traffic. Many people cross streets in midblock locations. In some locations this is both legal and safer than other locations. Pedestrians crossing midblock should use high levels of watchfulness and care, since many motorists may not be looking for them. Especially in urban areas, motorists expect pedestrians to cross at cross- walks, and pedestrians should expect motorists and bicyclists to watch out for them. Slow down! Don’t rush or speed. Motorist speeding is a major factor in crashes with pedestrians. Stepping in front of moving vehicles is another major cause. Take the time to keep yourself and others safe.
