WAC 132Y-100-068   Bicycle parking and traffic regulations.  (1) The primary aim of the bicycle control program is safety, and this aim will be achieved by keeping bicycles out of buildings, away from building exits, and parked off paths and sidewalks. Bicycles must never be parked in stairwells, hallways, or any place which will create a safety hazard or hinder exit from buildings.

     (2) Bicycles must be parked in racks. At times, rack space may not be available; parking near the racks is permitted provided the parked bicycles do not interfere with pedestrian traffic.

     (3) The following specific regulations must be observed while operating bicycles on campus:

     (a) Do not ride bicycles inside buildings at any time.

     (b) Do not lean or park bicycles near or against windows.

     (c) Pedestrians have the right of way on all mall and sidewalk areas of the college. At all times and places of congested pedestrian traffic, the bicycle rider must proceed slowly and yield to pedestrians.

     (d) Bicyclists must observe the ten mph speed limit on malls and service drives.

     (e) Bicyclists must ride in designated lanes where such lanes exist.

     (4) Impoundment policy:

     (a) Bicycles parked on paths or sidewalks, in buildings, or near building exits may be impounded. Bicycles left unattended on campus more than twenty-one days may be impounded.

     (b) Impounded bicycles will be stored in a location determined by the director of safety and security. The owner will be notified as soon as possible upon impoundment and the owner must reclaim the bicycle within fourteen days.

     (5) Abandoned, lost or found bicycles that have been impounded shall be subject to disposal in accordance with the laws of the state of Washington.
