Morgantown Campus & Game-Day Restriction Notice Defense
Morgantown imposes football game-day parking restrictions, downtown event restrictions, and PRT/Mountaineer Maniac zones with signs that frequently change without 24-hour advance posting. Under Morgantown Code §347-12 and MUTCD §2B (adopted by WV DOH), enforcement of a temporary restriction requires conspicuous advance signage. Citations issued where temporary 'No Parking — Event' signs were posted less than 24 hours before enforcement are vulnerable to dismissal.
Legal basis
Morgantown Code §347-12; MUTCD §2B (adopted by WV DOH); WV Code §17C-13-2
