Section 17.45.080. General vehicle rules.

	(a)  A person may operate a vehicle on an airport only in accordance with 17 AAC 45.020, 17 AAC 45.085, this section, and other applicable law.  
	(b)  A person may not access an airport by vehicle from property outside the airport boundary other than on a public road, trail, or way provided for that purpose and not posted by the department as closed to airport access, except as specifically provided under an airport boundary crossing permit issued under 17 AAC 45.285.  
	(c)  Subject to 17 AAC 45.030, an aircraft operated on an airport has the right-of-way over a vehicle on the airport. The operator of a vehicle on an airport may not interfere with or cause a hazard to the movement of aircraft on the airport.  
	(d)  A person may not operate a vehicle on an airport in excess of a speed limit posted by the airport manager for that airport roadway or area.  On an airport roadway or area for which the airport manager has not posted a speed limit, a person may not operate a vehicle in excess of 25 miles per hour.  This subsection does not apply to a person operating an emergency vehicle responding to an emergency.  
	(e)  A person may not park a vehicle inside a department-operated terminal building, except while loading or unloading baggage or freight at a location designated for that purpose, unless the airport manager has otherwise approved in writing.   
	(f)  A person who brings a vehicle onto or keeps a vehicle on an airport does so at the person's own risk with respect to security, maintenance, and operation of the vehicle.  The department is responsible for the security, maintenance, or operation of a vehicle on an airport only if the department owns or leases the vehicle.  
	(g)  A person operating a vehicle on an airport operated by the department under 14 C.F.R. Part 139 must be in possession of an operator's license, current and issued to the person, required by law for the type of vehicle being operated.
