Both Traffic and Security Officers regularly patrol University campuses and sites and issue Infringement Notices to vehicles found to be in breach of traffic regulations. The notices are usually placed under the windscreen wiper of the vehicle. The Infringement Notice is produced using a hand-held, ticket-issuing computer. Traffic and Security Officers' jurisdiction extends to all University sites.
The University's traffic and parking regulations are defined and regulated under The University of Queensland Act (1998), the State Penalties Enforcement Act (1999), and The State Penalties Enforcement Regulation (2000). The list of infringements is tabled below.
Be very careful to avoid parking in No Stopping areas (avoid yellow railings, yellow hatched areas, or yellow lines), on the grass, or in parking areas for which you don't have a valid permit. Offences will attract a penalty of either ½ of a $100 Penalty Unit or 1 Penalty Unit, as follows:
