Always lock your vehicles, even if you are only stepping away for a short time.

Avoid leaving your vehicle unattended while it is warming up, especially with the keys inside.

Staying vigilant is key to preventing crime. If you notice any suspicious activity or something out of the ordinary, please do not hesitate to call 911 immediately.

Stay safe and Go Birds!

In Pennsylvania, it is illegal to park facing the wrong way on a street, meaning you must always park parallel to the curb and with your vehicle facing the same direction as the traffic flow on the road; parking against the flow of traffic is considered a violation under state law.

§ 3354. Additional parking regulations.

(a) Two-way highways. –Except as otherwise provided in this section, every vehicle standing or parked upon a two-way highway shall be positioned parallel to and with the right-hand wheels within 12 inches of the right-hand curb or, in the absence of a curb, as close as practicable to the right edge of the right-hand shoulder.

(b) One-way highways.–Except as otherwise provided in this section, every vehicle standing or parked upon a one-way highway shall be positioned parallel to the curb or edge of the highway in the direction of authorized traffic movement with its right-hand wheels within 12 inches of the right-hand curb or, in the absence of a curb, as close as practicable to the right edge of the right-hand shoulder, or with its left-hand wheels within 12 inches of the left-hand curb or, in the absence of a curb, as close as practicable to the left edge of the left-hand shoulder.
