PERSONNEL SAFETY, SECURITY, AND HEALTH POLICIES

XII. Driving Policies

Preamble:

In order to ensure safety for our AUI students and personnel, and to maintain a peaceful environment within our campus, all drivers -students, faculty, staff and visitors should observe the following access and driving policies:

Driving Policies:

1. Pedestrians have absolute priority on the inner roads of the campus.
2. Drivers are not allowed to use car horns within the campus.
3. On-campus speed limit is 25 Km/hour.
4. Polluting, noisy vehicles or vehicles that may represent a danger to our residents are not allowed on campus.

Access:

1. Parking is allowed in the parking lots only. Access to residential or academic areas is denied to all vehicles outside the schedule indicated in paragraph 7 below. Only AUI vehicles and those authorized in writing by the VPFA have access to the residential and academic areas. These vehicles remain, however, subject to the driving policies on campus. In exceptional cases, the security supervisor has the power to authorize temporary access to the residential or academic areas.
2. On the times when access to the residential and academic areas is not allowed, a shuttle van will be made available in the parking lot in order to assist residents in carrying their luggage to their residential buildings.
3. Vehicles will be authorized to access the residential area strictly for loading or unloading according to the following schedule:
   
   Friday: from 12:00 noon to 9:00 p.m.
   Saturday: from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
   Sunday: from 12:00 noon to 9:00 p.m.
   
   However, drivers allowed to the residential or academic areas during these times should leave them within 30mn.

Sanctions:

1. Security guards, hall directors and AUI officers should enforce these policies. Any violation should be reported in writing to the V.P.F.A. The violations are:
   • Use of the car horn
   • Illegal parking
   • Speeding
   • Disobeying traffic signals
2. Any violation will be communicated to the violator within two working days following the day it was recorded.
3. Violation of the AUI driving policies may result in the suspension of vehicle access to the residential area for one month or until payment of a 200-Dh fine.
4. Failure to respect this suspension will lead to the vehicle being banned from the campus altogether for one month. Repeated violations of the present regulations may lead to disciplinary action
5. The University reserves the right to deny access to the campus for contravening vehicles until payment of any incurred penalties.
6. It is hoped that, thanks to everyone's sense of responsibility and cooperation, no sanction will need to be applied.

NOTE: All cars have to be registered with campus security.
