Pedestrian safety at UNSW

UNSW strives to maintain a safe and connected campus for everyone. With pedestrian accidents and fatalities occurring across NSW each year, we want you to stay alert and cross safely around campus.

Here are some essential tips for you to keep in mind:

• Always wait for the green man or "walk" signal before crossing the road.
• If there is a countdown timer, check if you have enough time to cross the road.
• Be aware of your surroundings and stay vigilant.
• Don't get distracted by your phone or by wearing headphones.
• Only cross the road at designated pedestrian crossings.
• Avoid crossing the road near buses or large vehicles.
• Use sidewalks whenever possible to stay safe.
• Ensure all vehicles have come to a complete stop before stepping off the curb.
• Make eye contact with vehicle drivers before crossing to ensure they have seen you.
