For instance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brock staff monitoring the situation have identified congestion spikes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8 to 9 a.m., noon to 2 p.m., and from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Try to stagger your arrival or departure to miss those times.<\/li>\n<li>Campus Security often helps smooth traffic at key pinch points by co-ordinating the flow of vehicles on campus. Paying attention to officers\u2019 signals and obeying all signs and speed limits will help alleviate traffic backups.<\/li>\n<li>Remember \u2014 pedestrians crossing roadways at crosswalks have the right of way at all times.<\/li>\n<li>The University also encourages commuters to consider carpooling, using public transit or riding their bicycle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Brock\u2019s growing population means finding a parking space can also be a challenge. Parking passes are sold out for Zone 1 and Zone 2, the largest lots on campus. \u00a0However:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New options for additional parking capacity are being developed, and will become available this fall.<\/li>\n<li>Drivers are reminded that permits must be displayed while parking in the appropriate lots for which the permits have been issued.<\/li>\n<li>Paid parking is available in Visitor Lot D, Lot E, Lot EA, Lot P, along Flora Egerter Way and along University Road West.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Campus traffic and parking patterns continue to be monitored. In the meantime, if you are unable to stagger your arrival or departure away from peak periods, anticipate delays and allow a bit more time for your daily commute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Brock University\u2019s enrolment grows, so does the number of people commuting to campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60866,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3319,4052,1,4],"tags":[4912,51,284],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60850"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60850"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60850\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":60851,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60850\/revisions\/60851"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
