(A) Only bona fide emergency vehicles, airport maintenance vehicles and vehicles belonging to aircraft owners and/or operators or hangar lessees may be operated on the ramp, apron, taxiway or runway portion of the airport, with the operation of ground vehicles on any taxiway or runway being further restricted to those situations necessary to the response to an emergency situation or to routine airport maintenance, to the positioning for launch or retrieval of a glider or the positioning, launching or recovery of an ultralight. In all cases, and most particularly when operating on the runway, the operator of such vehicle will exercise extreme caution and will absolutely give way to any aircraft that may be taking off, landing or taxiing. Ground vehicles shall also always yield to pedestrians.
(B) No vehicle shall ever be parked unattended on the runway, nor shall any vehicle ever be parked unattended on any portion of any taxiway, ramp or apron such as to deny or restrict the free passage of any aircraft to or from any hangar, tie down or parking spot or any other place on the airport to which an aircraft could logically need access.
(C) No motor home, travel trailer, boat trailer, horse trailer, utility trailer, automobile or any other type of powered or nonpowered vehicle (except those trailers specifically designed and constructed to store/transport gliders and ultralights) shall be permanently stored on the airport except within any lessee’s private hangar. Glider trailers or ultralight trailers may only be stored outside in those specific areas that have been designated by airport management for such purposes.
(D) No bicycles, motorcycles or ATVs shall be operated on any portion of any runway, taxiway, ramp or apron, except where such operation is conducted by the owner/operator of any aircraft, or the lessee of any hangar, and then only when in direct connection with such ownership/operation or lease.
(E) No person may operate a motor vehicle at a speed greater than 15 mph on any apron or ramp, or at a speed greater than 25 mph on any access road, and in any event, shall not operate in excess of any speed that may be posted. Nor may any person operate any vehicle in a careless or reckless fashion.
(F) General vehicle parking on the airport will only be in those locations designated for such purposes by airport management. Leaseholders may park in areas immediately adjacent to their leased facilities when, in the opinion of airport management such parking will not create any hazard or conflict with mowing, snow removal or any other required airport operation or activity. Airport management will have the authority to move, or to have moved, any vehicle parked in an inappropriate location.
