Tips on How to Avoid Parking Tickets

1. Know the basic parking rules for campus:
   • Parking regulations are in effect throughout the year. Parking is prohibited in all student parking areas between 1- 6:30 a.m. Monday through Sunday.
   • Weekend parking is available for faculty, staff, students and visitors in structure #2 on Saturdays and Sundays and in structure #6 on Saturdays.
   • Unless parking facilities are open for a special event, all structures are locked as posted. Hours for each structure may vary. All hours and availability are subject to change.
2. Wayne State University employees and students are not visitors and are not eligible for visitor parking permits.
3. Look for the signs designating the type of parking (found at entrances to lots or streets). Read the signs.
4. Look for meters and signs within the parking area that specify the use of an individual space (meters must have parking time paid for, reserved spaces must have the correct permit for the individual space, handicapped must display correct permit and placard).
5. Notes and hazard lights are not honored in lieu of parking in a designated space, displaying a valid permit or payment at meters/ pay lots.
6. Do not park on grass, sidewalks, beside yellow curbs or fire lanes.
7. Do not park in areas or beside curbs that do not have markings for spaces.
8. Do not park in (handicapped) accessible spaces or reserved spaces without the correct permit.
9. Do not park in the crosshatch area adjacent to (handicapped) accessible spaces.
10. Do not use a permit purchased or given to you by someone other than Parking and Transportation Services.
11. Do not use a permit you found.
12. Do not park in more than one parking space.
    

Lost Tags
If you lose your WSU hang tag, there is a $10 replacement fee. Parking in a handicap spot without your hang tag may result in being issued a ticket, for which you will be responsible.
