With thousands of motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians on campus every day, we are truly a multi-modal campus. Whether walking, biking, or driving, we all share the responsibility to ensure that we navigate campus safely. Lead by example; obey all traffic laws and be courteous to your fellow buckeyes.

By law, bicycles are vehicles and like motorists, cyclists must obey all traffic laws.

Safety between pedestrians, bicycles and motor vehicles is the responsibility of all students, faculty, staff and visitors. By law, bicycles are vehicles and like motorist, cyclists must obey all traffic laws. One-way streets, stop signs, riding on the right side of the road, and yielding to pedestrians are some of the requirements for bicycle operators. Remember: whether walking, biking, or driving, we all share the road and the responsibility.
