Initially the campus was open for public, but after the Defence department received security threats public vehicles were not allowed. A separate vehicle parking space was allotted just opposite to the Secretariat campus, where only vehicles of officials and staff were allowed.

According to officials in the Public (Motor Vehicles) department, the Secretariat campus has a capacity to park 120 vehicles. This year, they have given passes to 1,229 bikes to park inside the Secretariat, despite the campus not having any proper designated parking space. The officials also said that there are different types of parking passes for different officials, according to their ranks. Pink pass is for Secretariat staff and white pass is for non-secretariat staff and for ministerial staff. IAS officials are given blue coloured passes.

Secretariat staff said that there is no proper place to park their vehicles, adding that they are forced to park on the roads. One of the Secretariat staff, requesting anonymity, said, “I park my bike in front of Namakkal Kavingar building, but other employees park their vehicles behind my bike. I will not be able to take my bike in case of any emergency. It will take at least 30 minutes to move my vehicle as I need to clear a minimum of 10 bikes.”

The staff also said that others are often inconvenienced whenever a large vehicle such as a water tanker or military van enters the campus as it often gets struck in the road.
