To promote traffic safety and accessibility by emergency service
vehicles, the Duke University Police Department says it will more
closely monitor and enforce parking and traffic on campus and
adjoining roads.
Concern for the safety of the growing number of cyclists and
pedestrians on campus also has contributed to the decision to
increase enforcement, Birkhead noted in his letter.New signs have been
posted throughout campus to designate parking areas more clearly
and to inform drivers of the possibility of being ticketed or
towed. Vehicles must display appropriate parking decals and be
parked only in designated spaces. Visitor spaces also have been
more clearly marked. Spaces for service vehicles, for people with
mobility impairments or those otherwise marked as reserved will be
enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week.Written by Noah Bartolucci.
