Section 71.43. Underground garages

The following provisions shall be complied with by personnel using the underground garages:

(1) Parking spaces in the underground garages are assigned by individual stall numbers. The permit shows the stall number and does not authorize parking in any other stall. If the stall is found to be already occupied, report this to the Capitol Police Officer on duty and park only as he directs. Do not park in someone else’s assigned stall.

(2) Parking in the garage on any level shall be restricted to passenger cars and station wagons. Trucks of any type are not authorized.

(3) When entering the garage follow the directional signs, arrows, and the directions of the Capitol Police Officer on duty.

(4) Radio antennas shall be kept down to the roof level of the car, due to low ceiling height.

(5) Vehicles shall not be driven in excess of ten miles per hour.

(6) Headlights shall be turned on low beam at all times when the car is in motion.

(7) The horn shall be sounded only to avoid an accident. All cars shall be brought to a full stop before entering the garage.

(8) The doors for the bottom level of the garage (Area 17 on the diagram set forth in § 71.46 (relating to parking areas—Capitol complex)) will be locked at 7 p.m. Therefore, all cars shall be off the bottom level by 7 p.m. After 7 p.m., all ramps except ramp number 4 on the intermediate level (Area 16 on the diagram in § 71.46 (relating to parking areas—Capitol complex)) will be locked. All traffic for the intermediate level after 7 p.m. shall use ramp number 4 and if entering the intermediate level, park at the direction of the officer on duty.

(9) In case of fire, individuals should remain calm. The building is fireproof and fire extinguishers are available to combat gasoline and oil fires.

(10) No engines are to be run unnecessarily. Engines shall be run only to arrive and depart from a parking position. To preclude unnecessary build-up of carbon monoxide and other gases, no preheating of cars during inclement weather is permitted. Violators shall lose their indoor parking privilege for a violation of the provisions of this subsection.
