Authority to Enforce Traffic Regulations
Lee College has the authority to enforce certain traffic regulations by the Private Institutions of Higher Education Act, Section 1, Chapter 600.003, effective Sept. 1, 1997.
Parking Permits
It is the responsibility of each student to obtain a vehicle parking permit for use of any vehicle operated on campus. After registration, the permit is obtained at the Security Facility located across Parking Lot #10. Stolen or lost permits should be reported immediately. If your permit is starting to show wear and tear due to the sun, please see Security for a replacement. Students are responsible for any tickets accrued until a replacement permit is issued.
Accessible Parking
Accessible (handicapped) parking spaces are available throughout the campus. To prevent abuse, students or staff with a disability will need to display the state issued handicapped parking permit. Failure to do so will result in a citation given by Lee College Security and or City of Baytown Citizens Patrol.
Parking
Students must park in designated student parking. Vehicle location is the responsibility of the owner. Violations will be given for:
- Illegally parking in faculty or handicap
- Exceeding campus speed limits
- Backing into diagonal spaces
- Parking on sidewalks or lawns
- Double parking
- Reckless driving
The following violations are also subject to being towed:
- Blocking a driveway or doorway in a residential area
- Vehicles determined to be abandoned
- Parking in fire zones
- Blocking a fire hydrant
Accidents and Thefts
All accidents, thefts or offenses that occur on campus must be reported to the Security Services Office. Keep a record of all serial numbers of valuables. Mark your auto accessories so that they can be identified. Write your name in all textbooks. Do not leave valuables in your car. Always keep cars locked.
Motorcycles
Contact Security Services for parking locations. Do not park on the sidewalks or grass.

Auto Accidents — Off-Campus (in college vehicles)
Follow normal vehicle accident procedures. Exchange information for police reports. If the accident is of a serious nature and injuries are involved or the college vehicle is disabled, contact Lee College Security Services office at 281.425.6888.
