Commuting by bike is a common way for the students at Kansai Gaidai to come to school. The parking lots reflect this by quickly filling up and becoming a nightmare, but there is a method to the madness.
The east gate has quick access to two parking lots, sensibly named the east parking lots. The smaller of the two lots is closer and also features covered parking; while the further and larger lot is less crowded, but not as convenient. Unless signaled into the further lot by one of the guards most students will park at the smaller, closer lot. This results in a surplus of bikes and a need for some order.
The roads are off limits, the sidewalks however have changed from a dividing line or "no man's land" and have become part of the parking lot. The inside of the lot is divided into rows with painted lines to show where parking is supposed to occur. However these spaces quickly fill up and a "policy change" has resulted in continuing the line of bikes past where it should end. While for a time it can be a parking lot for the people maintained by the people, eventually the school intervenes to maintain order. Of course with age comes wisdom, and what can the younger generation do right?
