Uniform Traffic Code

The Board of Trustees at Western Carolina University has adopted parking and traffic ordinances, copies of which are on file with the Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina and the Secretary of the State of North Carolina. A comprehensive and detailed copy is available in the Office of University Police, Camp Building Annex, and is available online at http://police.wcu.edu/.

It is the responsibility of all faculty, staff, and students to purchase a registration permit before the start of the fall semester or within 24 hours of employment and to become familiar with the Traffic Code.

Policies pertaining to parking services on campus are promulgated by the Parking, Traffic, and Safety Committee and recommended to the Board of Trustees. Regulations, monetary charges, and penalties are established pursuant to General Statute 116-44.4. See http://police.wcu.edu/ for additional up-to-date information.

University police officers enforce state traffic laws on campus. Violators of state traffic laws may receive a campus or state traffic citation, depending upon the severity of the violation in the judgment of the officer. Campus traffic citations may be appealed on campus through the Parking, Traffic, and Safety Committee. State traffic citations must be appealed through the court system.
