  1. Cars on Campus Being a safe driver and a safe pedestrian

  2. Parking on Campus: Safety Tips • Park near other vehicles and near/under lights • Avoid parking near vans, pick-ups, and other large vehicles • they hide your car and make it harder for people to see if it is getting broken into • could provide a great hiding place for a thief or an attacker • ALWAYS lock your vehicles and close your windows • don’t hide spare keys in/on your car → they can be found • Never leave an ID tag on your keyring • if you lose your keys, that tag allows someone to find your house, your car, and you - and they have your keys

  3. While you drive on campus... • Watch for pedestrians and bicyclists! • Do not cut through empty spaces and lanes • Obey all traffic signs • Be suspicious of anyone approaching your vehicle • Drive slowly and use your turn signal • ALWAYS wear a seatbelt

  4. Watch out for Pedestrians! • Remember, speed limits vary all around campus! • check for the posted speed limit as your drive • be mindful of road conditions (ice, snow, etc) and adjust accordingly • Drivers must yield to pedestrians when they enter or are in a marked crosswalk • when a crosswalk covers two lanes of traffic, drivers must wait until pedestrians have cleared the entire crosswalk before proceeding

  5. Being a Pedestrian As a pedestrian, you should use crosswalks whenever available. When crossing at any place other than a marked crosswalk, pedestrians must give right-of-way to the driver.
