Safety

Pedestrians may only enter a signalized intersection when the "Walk" signal is shown. They may not enter a crosswalk with a flashing or steady "Don’t Walk" signal.

Motorists must stop to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. On the other hand, pedestrians may not enter a crosswalk if it's impossible for a driver to stop. The word "crosswalk" applies to both marked and unmarked areas where pedestrians can gain the right-of-way.

Bicyclists must travel as close as practicable—not as close as possible—to the right edge of the road. 

They must do this except when: 

• overtaking or passing another vehicle moving in the same direction 
• preparing for a left turn 
• reasonably necessary to avoid vehicles, narrow lane widths or other hazards that make it unsafe to continue alone the right edge 
• riding in a bicycle lane

Bicyclists may ride alongside each other in a single travel lane. That is, if they do not impede normal and reasonable movement of traffic.

Bicyclists must signal turns and lane changes unless both arms are needed to control the bicycle.

Bicyclists must ride with traffic on the right side of the road and keep off of all sidewalks while on campus. If you need to bike on a sidewalk, get off of the bike and walk it to where you need to go.

Don’t lock bikes to handrails, trees, fences, bus shelters or anything other than bike racks.

In addition to following the same rules as bikes, if you use a shared scooter, be sure to:

University and city staff work in cooperation with rental companies to enforce parking regulations.
