Dear Colleagues,
We all enjoy free and safe parking on campus. We wish to keep it such but occasionally there are motorists who abuse this privilege by parking indiscriminately in unauthorised spaces sometimes with no regard at all for the safety of other road users, pedestrians included. Yet another socially ungraceful and unacceptable behaviour is parking in spaces reserved for the disabled.
Thanks to our considerate population, we have been able to maintain orderly parking on campus, except for a few who blatantly fall out of place. It is with this group in mind that we are introducing the wheel-clamping system in our campus. The intention is not to eradicate in-disciplined parking, not that we condone it, but more so to target and take to task motorists who defiantly park in lots meant for the disabled or challengingly in front of main facilities and key service installations and those who do so recklessly around bends and corners affecting campus routine and operations.
Signs along our driveways and on location will clearly indicate where wheel-clamping would apply. Tickets will be placed on windscreens of vehicles belonging to penalised motorists with clear instructions on the release of the wheel clamps. An administrative fee of $50 will be charged to release the wheel-clamp. A grace period of three weeks up to the end of August will be observed where offenders will be let off without wheel clamps but with warnings. Actual implementation will commence from 1 September onwards.
We seek your support and understanding on this exercise whose objective is not to punish but to educate.
Regards
