Obey all stop signs, drive slowly and park in a parking spot when picking up or dropping off. Idling/parking in front of the building is not permitted for any length of time. We have witnessed several instances where these actions have not been adhered to, and have created unsafe parking lot situations for pedestrians, even resulting in vehicles colliding.
- To park in a designated persons with disability parking spot, you must have a disability permit placard hanging from your rearview mirror or a license plate designation.
