ew signs remind students
f motor vehicle regulation
By Julie Vass
Reporter
Die,
X •
“No mopeds, scooters and motor-
des.”
Many motor vehicle operators
Have encountered this new sign on
klewalks, and although the signs are
not antique, the regulation is.
■ Texas A&M Motor Vehicle Regu-
laiions, section 5, paragraph D,
Beads: “A motor vehicle shall not be
operated on any sidewalk, mail or
lawn.”
■ A motor vehicle definitely in
cludes mopeds, scooters and motor
cycles — despite what people may
ish to think, said Bob Wiatt, A&M’s
irector of'security and traffic.
Eugene H. Ray, director of
rounds maintenance, said, “People
ave to realize that mopeds are like
:ars — people need to park them
and start walking.”
Sandra Lancharic, a junior at
A&M and a moped owner, said, “I
don’t think that mopeds and motor
cycles drive on the sidewalk unless
that’s the only way for them to get to
the parking places.”
Wiatt said the 40 signs around the
core of the campus, which were set
up in early August, are not only to
remind moped and motorcycle rid
ers of the regulation, but also to
serve as a form of peer pressure.
“When people go snooting across
on their motorized steeds they are
getting a lot of fellow students hol
lering at them,” he said.
After complaints from students
who had been “scared out of their
britches,” Wiatt said he decided the
signs were a necessity.
To increase public awareness of
the regulation before resorting to
the signs, Wiatt and others sent a let
ter to faculty, students and adminis
trators last spring.
The letter contained a warning
that said the owner of the vehicle
faces a potential lawsuit if someone
is injured as a result of an accident.
Wiatt said that although most of
the accidents involving mopeds are
minor, it is the fear of what could
have happened that is the biggest
concern of the people who complain
to him.
Ray said, “Safety is primary. The
greater the population, the greater
the need for rigid controls.”
Those who don’t follow the regu
lations, Wiatt said, can get a ticket
filed in the justice of the peace court
for up to $200.
Wiatt said he realizes moped
parking needs to be increased, but
this year’s budget may stand in the
wav.
