Section 20. Vehicle control

11 AAC 12.020. Vehicle control

(a) No person may fail to comply with a traffic or parking control sign in a state park.

(b) No person may place or operate a vehicle beyond the boundaries established by a traffic control device placed to control or prohibit access by a vehicle in a state park.

(c) No person may place or operate a vehicle in a state park except on a road or in a parking area, or as otherwise provided in 11 AAC 20.

(d) An officer may impound and remove to a place of safety a vehicle (1) that is found or operated in violation of (b) or (c) of this section, or (2) that is left unattended on or along a road or parking area in a state park for more than 10 consecutive days unless advance arrangements are made with a state park officer, or (3) that is in violation of a posted parking limit.

(e) When a vehicle is impounded and removed from a highway or elsewhere at the direction of a park officer, the vehicle shall be removed to a place of safety. The owner or driver may claim the vehicle by securing a written release for it from the division or other state agency which ordered the impound. A vehicle removed or impounded may not be released to the owner, nor may the owner secure its use until the release for it is certified by the officer or agency directing its removal, and the expense for the removal and storage has been paid by the owner or driver of the vehicle.

(f) If a vehicle is stopped, parked, or left standing in violation of this section, the department considers the registered owner of the vehicle to be the violator of this section unless the registered owner proves to the satisfaction of the department that the vehicle was being used without the owner's consent at the time of the violation.

(g) For the purposes of this section, "road" or "parking area" means the travelled portion of a vehicular way or area maintained by the state for the purpose of allowing access or parking by registered highway vehicles.
