The Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") requires that sidewalks be accessible, which means there must be a minimum clear width to get around any obstruction.  Vehicle operators are reminded that parking vehicles on sidewalks and pathways may disrupt critical routes for members of the OU community with mobility and vision challenges.  Vehicles must park in such a manner as to provide a minimum clear width to allow OU community members to utilize all sidewalks and pathways.  Vehicle operators are expected to remove their vehicles from critical pathways within a reasonable time frame after their work is completed. 

The Associate Vice-President for 设施管理 and the Chief of Police may establish internal procedures (in addition to those outlined in this Policy) governing the off road operation of vehicles belonging to their respective departments.
