SAFETY STARTS WITH YOU
You are an important part of building a safe micromobility culture on campus. Together we can create a healthy environment for pedestrians, cyclists, scooter operators, and motorists alike.
While micromobility vehicles have been on campus for years, their numbers have increased significantly – and now many are motorized. We have experienced a dramatic rise in unsafe riding practices and reports of accidents and near-misses involving micromobility vehicles.
Do your part, Terps! Safety starts with YOU.

SAFE DRIVING STARTS WITH YOU
- Share the road.
- Slow down! Obey the speed limit and road signs.
- Look out! Yield to people walking, biking, or scooting.
- Look for micromobility operators before opening your door.
- Be patient: No tailing, honking, shouting, or trying to squeeze by.
- Allow at least 3 feet when passing bikes or e-scooters.
- Do not drive distracted or impaired.
SAFE WALKING STARTS WITH YOU
-
Look up and stay alert.
- Walk on sidewalks.
- Cross at street corners, use crosswalks, and wait for the walk signal.
- Be aware of your surroundings. If you’re wearing headphones keep the volume low.
- Be visible. Wear something light or reflective after dark.
