Vehicle Crashes

Road safety is the responsibility of not only motorists, but cyclists, pedestrians and all other road users.

  • Slow down and be aware of pedestrian movement around Campus and pedestrian areas - never assume a pedestrian has seen you.
  • Never assume that a driver has seen you and will stop for you. Before crossing the road, think about whether the approaching driver can see you.
  • At night wear something light in colour or wear reflective clothing
  • Children learn about road safety by watching adults, so set a good example by always crossing the road at a crossing or at traffic lights where they are available.
