Baylor, I can say parking policies could use some changes. I understand the need for parking policies for safety and security reasons, but some parking rules are just ridiculous. My family has four vehicles, only one of them has a UMHB parking sticker. This sticker was issued at registration; it is one of the many hidden fees that are added into tuition. I sometimes drive different vehicles to campus. When I drive different vehicles, I have to go to campus police to get a temporary parking permit. However
Parking on Campus is a Pain New students entering Western Michigan University are allowed to have a car on campus. With every new freshmen class entering each year, parking poses a problem. WMU is already limited in its parking on campus and since freshmen are allowed to have cars, the students are faced with the dilemma of having nowhere to park or parking quite far from their destination. There are parking problems all over the campus, creating backups in residence hall and other lots, resulting
reasons that parking should be free is the cost of parking can stack with other costs, it’s not the student’s responsibility to sustain a parking lot, and parking is not available to everyone. Therefore, parking should be included in the tuition that is
As you enter your car, you notice that it's 10:50. You know it’s going to take five minutes to school, another five minutes to find parking and hope that you will be on time for your 11:10 class. As you make the turn to enter lot 30, you see cars in every single parking space. You enter every aisle trying to find parking. You wait for fellow students to leave the lot so you can find a space for yourself. You keep circling the lot, and the next thing you know, it is 11:15. You think of other options:
After a long day of cruising through town with your buddy, the two of you have grown quite an appetite. You spot a McDonalds at the top of a very steep hill. Unfornately a local biker gang must of had the same idea. Encredibly, the only available parking spot is on the street, uphill of nearly 15 Harleys. There are no other restaurants for 100 miles in all directions. Famished, your friend skillfully manuvers his car to the side of the road. The breaks shudder as the car comes to a stop on the hill
able to find a parking spot. The majority of the student body drives to school with no guaranty that they will be able to station their car in the school zone even if they have a parking pass. Although there’s always a way of avoiding this problem by means of other transportations, however, students would prefer driving to school and for that reason a solution to the lack of parking spaces in the college campus is to assign each parking space with a number. Many colleges lack parking spaces inside
Automated car and bike parking systems Introduction: Throughout the world, vehicles have been increasing and developed to satisfy the needs of humans for travelling distances from one place to another. However, when the world is overpopulated and vehicles amount is growing as well, the requirements of more parking have appeared remarkably; therefore, engineers have started to create new methods to park a large amount of vehicles.

Imagine living in a world where you get a $35 parking ticket every single week. For students at the University of Florida, this scenario is real life. As high school students go through the process of picking the college of their dreams, most do not consider the struggle of parking on campus. Therefore, the thousands of naive freshman that choose the University of Florida become enraged when the only place their decal allows them to park appears completely full, or when reckless students push all
Put an End to Parking Problems! I would like to see the parking and traffic crunch on and around this campus eased. Unless a student arrives before 8 o'clock in the morning or in the afternoon, cruising the parking lots or streets for a place to park is routine. Even buying a parking sticker does not mean you will have the privilege of a space. Competition for spaces during the rush hours of 9 A.M. to 11 A.M. is cutthroat. Would-be parkers stake out sections of a parking row and sit in
1. INTRODUCTION Finding an empty parking space is a common problem in most urban areas which especially occurs in popular areas and tourist attraction spots. This situation has become more serious especially during their peak time, be it holiday seasons ,carnivals or any other festivals. The limited availability of vacant parking spaces often result in traffic congestion. Limitation of a driver’s capability of finding a vacant parking spaces and absence of efficient management are also at fault

restaurant saying “free parking in rear”. It means I can save a couple dollars for parking and enjoy the dinner. I believe most of people have the same experience of finding a free parking space. However, parking is never free, even it labeled with free parking. We have already paid something but we just do not realize it. In 2013, Paul Kennedy argued in his presentation program CBC radio Ideas that “parking causes huge economic, environmental, and even social problems” (“Paying for Parking”). In 2009, a research
Parking at Wichita State University is terrible. Residents of Shocker Hall and Fairmount Towers are mostly affected by this; they are forced to park almost two and a half miles from their dorms - and an on-call shuttle system has been set up for them by the administration. If students wanted to park for free close to campus, the most ideal place they would consider parking, is on the streets. However, this has become a problem to the neighborhoods around campus as complains of driveway infringements

Downtown Atlanta is a huge place located at the center of the city. Downtown has everything to offer from shopping centers to historic buildings.

You may be thinking parking lot, who cares? The parking lot is very important and for each facility the parking area will be separate from the shop. The parking area is on the other side of the fence, and is well kept and will also be monitored with a CCTV. The parking lot is important because when external threats think about theft, using a vehicle to get away is a preferred option. The parking lot will have plenty of space and a booth will be at the entry and exit. One of my employees will
school after going home for the weekend, their biggest worry is not being able to find a parking spot. Especially when they have only a few minutes to get to their first class and the parking lot is to capacity. Nobody wants to start out their week with a parking ticket, so they spend a lot of their time circling the parking lot just hoping that they will either catch someone backing out or they find a parking spot that is hidden between all of the cars that are spaciously parked on the gravel. The
Parking Deck Project of University The University of ________________ has been confronted with claims of parking shortages over the past several years. Many of these claims were not supported by any facts or figures that explained the cause of the parking shortages. In fact, some of the claims of insufficient parking were based on students not being able to locate parking spaces in the parking lots adjacent to their first class. Due to recent and projected enrollment increases, there now
West side of campus, or they will get a parking ticket. There are four dorms on this side of campus and they all share a small parking lot by Madison, the few parking spaces along University Avenue, and one parking lot between Commons and Ouachita Hall. This parking lot that is behind Commons is half gravel and it doesn’t have parking spots drawn on it. Students park really far away from each other and take up more room than necessary. They get many parking tickets, because they end up having to
for one issue: the lack of parking on campus. Nearly every time in the past that I have attempted to locate a desirable parking spot, I have failed and have had to settle for a spot at least five minutes away from my intended location. After three semesters of frustration, I gained the necessary permission to research this predicament and present my findings in this report. Sheridan College currently faces a problem which many campuses face nationwide: inadequate parking. This is due to a high student
plentiful and the number of convenient parking spaces is inadequate, it is a complete abomination to society that some people choose to park in such a way that they occupy more than one parking space. To simply imagine the sight of one measly car taking up the amount of space meant for two is nearly unbearable. To make matters worse, each space is specifically marked with lines in order to guide one in their parking endeavors. By ignoring these lines and parking poorly, it is clear that drivers who
