Oftentimes we get a lot of students who don't know where to park. That's why we have these fancy dandy signs to help us out, Bybee said.

BYU Parking provides students and faculty with different kinds of permits, each corresponding with signage marking where different permit holders can park.

If you're a student, depending on where youre living, you either have Y permits, basically for anyone that you can purchase online at the BYU parking websites, or you'll have other different permits that you'll get," Bybee said.
