(1)The governing boards of public institutions of postsecondary education, each having

the power and authority to govern and control the method and purpose of use of

property owned or occupied by their respective institution, including travel over

such property, is each hereby confirmed in its authority to regulate the traffic and

parking of motor vehicles, bicycles or other vehicles as well as the traffic of

pedestrians on, over and across the streets, roads, paths and grounds of real property

owned, used or occupied by such institution. Such regulations applicable to traffic

and parking may include, but not be limited to, the following provisions:

(a)Provisions governing the registration, speed, operation, parking and times,

places and manner of use of motor vehicles, bicycles and other vehicles.

(b)Provisions prescribing penalties for the violation of such regulations, which

penalties may include the imposition of reasonable charges, the removing and

impounding (at the expense of the violator) of vehicles which are operated or

parked in violation of such regulations, and the denial of permission to operate

vehicles on the property of such institution.

(c)Provisions establishing reasonable charges and fees for the registration of

vehicles and for the use of parking spaces or facilities owned or occupied by

having jurisdiction over public streets, roads, alleys or ways.

deemed violations of the appropriate equivalent sections of the motor vehicle laws

of the Commonwealth and may be prosecuted in the courts having territorial
