BYU-IDAHO PARKING: Rules, regulations and misconceptions

It seems like new problems with parking regulations come with every new semester. Students often complain that they are unaware of what the parking regulations are.
Here are some common parking misconceptions set straight.
Parking lots are not monitored on Sundays.
All parking regulations are enforced on Sunday, except the need for “A,” “B” and “D” permits.
I won’t get a ticket if I am just quickly dropping something off to my teacher.
Tickets will be given to students without parking permits. Thirty-minute parking spaces are available to all members of the university community. Parking for longer than 30 minutes constitutes a violation.
I am guaranteed a parking spot if I buy a parking permit.
All parking spots work on a first-come, first-serve basis. Purchasing a parking permit does not guarantee a parking spot.
It does not matter where I place my permit as long as I have one.
Parking permits are to be placed in the lower, passenger-side corner of the front windshield. Hanging permits should be hung on the interior rear-view mirror with the lettering facing out.
Bicycles always have the right of way.
Bicycles do have the right of way when it comes to cars; however, bicycles must yield to pedestrians. Bicycles cannot exceed 5 m.p.h. on campus. Failure to do so will result in a fine.
My family is visiting me, so they are considered visitors and can park in visitor parking.
Full-time or part-time faculty, staff, administrators, students or their immediate family members are not allowed to park in visitor spaces. Visitor spaces are reserved for people not directly associated with BYU-Idaho. Relatives can get temporary parking permits at Kimball 150.
I got a parking ticket awhile back, but the school does not really enforce payment, so I can take my time.
Unresolved fines will result in the withholding of registration, grades, graduation, and transcripts and will be charged to the university accounts of responsible parties.
