Estacionamiento en lotes de transporte público en Virginia

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que no puedes estacionar tu auto en ciertos lotes a menos que seas un usuario de transporte público o compartas el viaje. Si te atrapan estacionando mal, pueden multarte.

Es como cuando llegas a una fiesta y hay un espacio reservado para los amigos del anfitrión. Si te estacionas ahí sin ser amigo, el anfitrión puede pedirte que te muevas.

Ejemplo Práctico

Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

Va. Code § 46.2-1219.2 - Parking of vehicles in commuter parking lots owned by the Virginia Department of Transportation. A. It shall constitute a traffic infraction for any person to park any vehicle in any commuter parking lot owned by the Virginia Department of Transportation in any manner not in conformance with posted signs and pavement markings. In Planning District 8, such signs shall clearly indicate that before 10:00 a.m. Monday through Friday except holidays parking is only for commuters using mass transit or who are car pool or bicycle riders. B. In the prosecution of an offense established under this section, prima facie evidence that the vehicle described in the summons issued pursuant to this section was parked in violation of this section, together with proof that the defendant was at the time of such violation the owner, lessee, or renter of the vehicle, shall constitute in evidence a rebuttable presumption that such owner, lessee, or renter of the vehicle was the person who committed the violation. Such presumption shall be rebutted if the owner, lessee, or renter of the vehicle (i) files an affidavit by regular mail with the clerk of the general district court that he was not the operator of the vehicle at the time of the alleged violation or (ii) testifies in open court under oath that he was not the operator of the vehicle at the time of the alleged violation. Such presumption shall also be rebutted if a certified copy of a police report, showing that the vehicle had been reported to the police as stolen prior to the time of the alleged violation of this section, is presented, prior to the return date established on the summons issued pursuant to this section, to the court adjudicating the alleged violation. A violation of this section may be charged
