Question: 1 / 455

What is needed to enforce the Motor Vehicle Code on private property?

Officer's discretion

Landowner's permission for registration and licensing

The enforcement of the Motor Vehicle Code on private property, such as parking lots or private roadways, requires the landowner's permission for registration and licensing. This is because private property is not governed by the same regulations as public highways, and the landowner has the authority to determine the rules and regulations for vehicle operation on their property.

When a landowner permits enforcement of the Motor Vehicle Code by giving explicit permission—such as through posted signs indicating enforcement of parking regulations or traffic laws—law enforcement officers have the authority to enforce those laws.

In this context, officer's discretion, visible traffic signage, and police presence, while relevant factors in broader enforcement strategies, do not suffice on their own to grant authority for enforcement on private property without the landowner's explicit consent.
