Reminder: Moving Traffic Violations

All individuals operating motor vehicles or bicycles on Laboratory property must comply with the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and Berkeley Lab traffic and parking regulations. (Note that the CVC requires automobile drivers to wear a seat belt when operating a motor vehicle; Laboratory policy requires automobile drivers to wear a seat belt when operating a government or personal vehicle, and bicycle riders to wear a helmet, while travelling on Laboratory property.) Permission to operate a vehicle or bicycle on Laboratory property is subject to the control of the Laboratory Security Manager and may be revoked at any time. Because of the steep terrain, all skateboards, scooters, and in-line skates are prohibited. Unless otherwise posted, the maximum speed limit on all Laboratory property is 25 miles per hour (for all but emergency vehicles) or slower as conditions require. Parking permits must be visible when individuals enter Berkeley Lab gates. Operators of Laboratory-furnished vehicles are personally responsible for the payment of fines levied by public law enforcement agencies and will receive parking violation points levied for violation of Laboratory parking regulations. The complete text of the Laboratory's policy on moving traffic violations, bicycle safety, and the use of official vehicles may be found in RPM §§1.04 and 1.05. For Laboratory parking policy, see the Parking Enforcement System website.
