Because they don't. I was there a lot on business and due to the
distance and the need to schlepp heavy stuff had to use an SUV. Not
the slightest problem.
"Restrict motor vehicle use" does not mean "No motor vehicle is ever
allowed through." The campus I taught in allowed no motor vehicles in
its central core - except, of course, when it was necessary to allow an
emergency vehicle, a utility repair truck, a heavy delivery, etc.
Allowing one SUV driver schlepping something is far different from
letting anyone drive wherever they want.
From
https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2...th-the-bicycle
"The campus, cheek-by-jowl with the city, is car-free."
I have told you before that that is fake news. Simply repeating it
does not make it any less fake.
... [Yes, as
explained above, it's not 100% car free. Everyone else gets the idea.]
"Car-use was restricted on campus, with drop-down barriers and a ban on
student car ownership (this is still in force)."
From http://taps.ucdavis.edu/bicycle/education/community
"The University followed suit by banning almost all motor vehicle use
from its central core roadways that were formerly open to motor traffic
from off campus."
They do not.
Yeah, yeah, fake news. Who are you going to believe, professional
journalists who have no strong agendas? Or one guy on the internet who
wants to spend public money to turn America into Amsterdam?
I believe myself. I was there a lot so I know. Seems you can't even
operate Google Maps. Almost everyone knows that their Google mapping
vehicles do not enter restricted areas such as closed campuses or gated
communities, meaning there wouldn't be a street view. Since UC Davis has
no restriction for on-campus driving you can virtually drive through.
See this huge parking lot?

Now why would that be there is traffic was restricted? Quote "banning
almost all motor vehicle use from its central core roadways" is,
therefore, obviously a false statement.
