What is the big deal if I park in a red zone or a fire lane when I just need to run into a building for a minute?
Areas designated as fire lanes are done so for the sole reason of the safety of the college community. This is so the fire department can readily get to people who may need their help. A lot of their life-saving equipment is on their fire trucks, and seconds saved could mean the difference between life and death for someone. The fire department can also levy huge fines against the campuses because fire lanes are blocked. Q: I don’t see the problem if I park in a loading dock. There usually isn’t anyone parked there anyways. Loading docks are for the purpose of vendors making deliveries, such as food, mail, or supplies. A lot of delivery companies, if they cannot unload when their trucks arrive, will leave, and it will require another delivery charge for them to come back, often delaying deliveries.
