Following the rules of the road can often challenge student drivers, especially when they are in a rush to class. UA Parking and Transportation Services has recently stepped up monitoring speeders with radar enforcement in parking garages to combat speedy motorists. “We’ve gotten two new officers, who are focusing a lot more on doing radar,” said Alan Remick, lead parking services officer for PTS. “It has enabled us to do a lot more of it, which is awesome because it keeps the speed down in the garage, which also helps with the safety of the campus in general.” Although many drivers did not notice the radar enforcement before, it’s nothing new to UA parking garages. David Heineking, executive director for PTS, said the technology has been in place for years. “We started the program in about 2008 or 2009,” Heineking said. “We did it after noticing a number of complaints about peoples’ driving in the garages, in particular speeding, stop signs, wrong-way driving, all of those types of things.” Speeding became an issue in the garages when the speed limit was raised from five mph to 15 mph, according to Remick. “There was some real concern from some people that there was going to be crashes,” Heineking said. “We haven’t see a lot of crashes, but we felt it was important to take some steps.” While the lowest price from PTS for a moving violation is $60, prices increase for recurring violations.
