Campus Speed Limits and Pedestrian Safety
Campus Speed Limits
The speed limit on campus streets is 20 mph, unless otherwise posted.
Our officers patrol and monitor traffic on campus and will write
state citations to drivers who do not honor the posted speeds and
traffic laws. Please remember that pedestrian traffic is always a
consideration on our campus and the low speed limits are in place
for the protection of both drivers and pedestrians.
Pedestrian Safety
NC law states that motor vehicles must slow down or stop to allow pedestrians
to cross the street when they are in a marked crosswalk or an unmarked
crosswalk at or near an intersection. For safety reasons we suggest
pedestrians be alert and use good judgment when crossing any street
on campus. Try to make eye contact with the driver of the vehicle
and always look both ways before steppin into the crosswalk. Do not
assume that a vehicle can or will stop, even though you are at a
designated crosswalk.
