Observing Drop-Off and Fire Zones
Please do not park your vehicles in the fire zones (red curb areas) or drop-off and pickup zone (white curb areas).
We understand that we do not have enough parking for everybody at large gatherings. By parking in the fire zone, you are restricting emergency vehicle pathways. In an event of an emergency, this can be disastrous. Not observing these laws, it may cost lives. You do not want to be the cause for this. Every second is important in an emergency situation.
Drop-off zones were created so people can drop-off and pick-up passengers, especially kids and elders. It is an inconvenience if individuals continue to park in these areas.
If you see anybody parking in the red or white zones, please kindly remind them not to park there. These zones were created for specific reasons. Thank you for understanding.
