The Board of Trustees of the Community-Technical Colleges shall appoint a committee at each regional community-technical college to establish traffic and parking regulations for passenger vehicles at such college. Such traffic committee, subject to the approval of said board and of the Office of the State Traffic Administration, may:

1. (1) Prohibit, limit or restrict the parking of passenger vehicles;
2. (2) determine speed limits;
3. (3) install stop signs;
4. (4) restrict roads or portions thereof to one-way traffic;
5. (5) designate the location of crosswalks on any portion of any road or highway subject to the care, custody and control of said board of trustees;
6. (6) order signs to be erected and maintained designating such prohibitions or restrictions; and
7. (7) impose a fine upon any person who fails to comply with any such prohibition or restriction. All fines so imposed at each regional community-technical college, less an amount not to exceed the cost of enforcing traffic and parking regulations, shall be deposited in the institutional operating account of such college for scholarships and library services or acquisitions. The Board of Trustees of the Community-Technical Colleges shall establish at each regional community-technical college a committee which shall hear appeals of penalties assessed for parking or traffic violations. The membership of both the committee to establish traffic and parking regulations and the committee to hear traffic violation appeals shall include student and faculty representation.
