Please note
In the guide when I say "in designated areas only" it
means you must park in the space set aside for motorcycles.
However "designated areas provided" means space is
provided for motorcycles but the contributor did not indicate
if you must park in these areas.
Information are provided as is, without warranty of any kind.
If you get booked, don't expect the contributor or me to pay
the fine for you.
The prices quoted were current at 1996 and are obviously no
longer up-to-date.
Further enquiries should be directed to the contributors, not
the compiler of the guide.
Many of these contributors have since moved on from their
respective institutions, so why don't you contribute and
help keep this guide updated?
This guide is freeware. Feel free to download and distribute,
but please do not alter without asking.
