Authority
Kennesaw State University adopts these regulations pursuant to the authority
conferred upon the Board of Regents to regulate the University System of
Georgia Campus Traffic, Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA), Title 20.
These regulations supersede all previous KSU Parking and Traffic Regulations
pertaining to motor vehicle operation and parking on campus.
Application
These regulations apply to all persons operating motor vehicles at Kennesaw
State University and become part of the terms and conditions accepted by all
persons permitted to operate motor vehicles on campus. Students, faculty and
staff shall not operate or park any motor vehicle on campus unless qualified
to do so under applicable State law and KSU regulations. The Campus includes
that property owned or leased by the Board of Regents and designated as
Kennesaw State University. For the purpose of these regulations, a “motor
vehicle” is a conveyance with two or more wheels propelled by an electric or
fuel-burning motor.
1. Traffic safety on campus is everyone's
responsibility. Students, staff and faculty are expected to obey all traffic
laws and practice safe driving habits while operating motor vehicles at
Kennesaw State University. The speed limit is 25 MPH campus-wide (unless
otherwise indicated), except in parking lots where it is 5 MPH. The
University is public property and all of the streets in and around campus
are deemed public highways. Hence, anyone operating a motor vehicle in
violation of Georgia law may be required to answer charges in State Court.
2. Pursuant to the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, Title 20, the KSU
Police are charged with enforcing traffic laws on campus. They are fully
empowered to make traffic arrests for offenses committed within their
jurisdiction. Questions regarding Uniform Traffic Citations may be addressed
to the State Court of Cobb County, Traffic Violations Bureau.
3. The KSU Police will investigate all motor vehicle accidents occurring on
campus. For purposes of documentation, drivers are urged not to move their
vehicles until after the arrival of an officer. Copies of the accident
reports are usually available 3 business days after the written request is
submitted.
