The Nevada Revised Statutes empower the university to establish regulations for the health, safety, and welfare of all. The university prohibits the use of skateboards, rollerblades or similar types of equipment within university buildings. Faculty, staff, students or visitors using skateboards, rollerblades or similar types of equipment as a means of transportation shall be expected to exhibit due regard for the safety of pedestrians.
Violation will result in the university withdrawing permission for access through the campus and/or disciplinary actions. If any damage has occurred, the parties responsible will make restitution. If the situation involves a minor, the parents will be notified of their financial responsibility. Such a violation may result in confiscation of the skateboard.
Individuals shall be held responsible for damage caused to university property as a result of the improper operation of skateboards, rollerblades or similar types of equipment on the university campus. Individuals shall be held responsible for injuries to themselves or others as a result of the improper operation of such equipment on university property.
Individuals are also subject to Clark County Municipal Code, Section 11.42.130. It is unlawful for any person to ride or use a coaster, roller skates, roller blades, scooter, skateboard or similar devices:
a. On any roadway except while crossing a street at a crosswalk, and, when any such device is so crossing, it shall be granted all of the rights and shall be subject to all of the duties applicable to pedestrians;
b. On any other public property when signs have been erected at the entrances to, or displayed prominently on, the property prohibiting the use of coasters, roller skates, scooters, skateboards, toy vehicles or similar devices on such property.
The recreational use of skateboards is prohibited on any campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Recreational use is defined to mean: any use by an individual to operate or use a skateboard, coaster, roller skates, roller blades, or similar device to jump on or over any object, to jump off or onto stairs, handrails, benches, planters or any structure not designed for such use; or to operate these and similar devices in other than a careful or prudent manner, or at a rate of speed greater than is reasonable and proper, having due regard for the traffic and pedestrians on and the surface and width of the street, sidewalk or walkway; or such rate of speed as to endanger the life, safety, or property of any person.
