I am working on a project that is intended to show parking restrictions. I am using my university's parking restriction layer and it will only appear when I zoom into a certain level. Is there a way to fix it so that I can view the graphical layer at a more zoomed out level? The visibility slide bar doesn't seem to do anything.

Is this something that I have the ability to even edit, or would that be something that was set and cannot be changed?

Setting drawing layer visibility—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop for within ArcMap... for other software the keyword phrase is layer visibility and scale , it may have been set already and you will have to change it if you can

It depends on  how you are accessing the data.  If it is from a Service, you may not be able to change this behavior yourself.

However, if you are viewing a feature class in a mxd, then you can usually alter it.  For example, a Scale Dependency may have been set, which suppresses the data display outside a preset scale (usually to improve performance and to prevent the display from getting cluttered).
