(2) All motor vehicle laws of the State of Oregon including specifically, but not limited by, ORS chapters 801 through 822, together with amendments hereafter adopted, are applicable to the campus of Western Oregon University to the same extent as if this campus and its streets were public highways, and all provisions of said motor vehicle laws are applicable and enforceable.

All persons -- faculty, staff, students, visitors and commercial representatives -- who park in University-owned permit parking lots must obtain and display a permanent or temporary permit or service permit. Vehicles cited for failure to display such permits are subject to penalty as assessed by the University. Western Foundation-owned property may be enforced upon request by the Western Foundation staff for those vehicles found in violation as defined in ORS 98.810-812.
