§ 46.2-1219.2. Parking of vehicles in commuter parking lots owned by the Virginia Department of Transportation.

It shall constitute a traffic infraction for any person to park any vehicle in any commuter parking lot owned by the Virginia Department of Transportation in any manner not in conformance with posted signs and pavement markings. In any prosecution charging a violation of the ordinance or regulation, proof that the vehicle described in the complaint, summons, parking ticket citation, or warrant was parked in violation of the ordinance or regulation, together with proof that the defendant was at the time the registered owner of the vehicle, as required by Chapter 6 (§ 46.2-600 et seq.) of this title, shall constitute in evidence a prima facie presumption that the registered owner of the vehicle was the person who committed the violation. A violation of this section may be charged on the uniform traffic summons form. Enforcement of the provisions of this section shall be a responsibility of the Department of State Police.
