To park in a diagonal stall, please simply pull into a spot. Do not pull through one spot to enter another and do not back into a parking spot. The diagonal stall parking row is a one-way street. If the vehicle is pulled through to the next spot or backed into a spot, upon exiting the parking stall, you will be going the wrong way on a one-way street. Please see this graphic for how to park appropriately in the diagonal spots on campus.
