See also the topic page on parking. Norsk versjon: Parkeringsregler på NTNU.

Parking enforcement on university property is governed by private law, meaning NTNU determines how parking on university premises is organized. NTNU may add, remove, or modify parking spaces without applying for permission from the traffic authority/Trondheim municipality. Vehicles and trailers parked in the same space for an extended period may be fined or towed.

Complaints about parking fines
