Students on campus at the University of Georgia in Athens.

The University of Georgia sent out a public reminder this morning to encourage students, faculty, staff and visitors to maintain safe practices on the roads.

The reminder included several considerations for pedestrians, drivers and those using alternative transportation vehicles such as bicycles and electric scooters. It stressed the importance of reserving crosswalks and sidewalks for pedestrians only and recommended using UGA buses and ACC transit options to reduce congestion on campus during class changes and peak travel times.

As the semester progresses, it remains important to share the roads safely and remember the risks of distraction. People can find more information on maintaining campus safety here: https://watchfordawgs.uga.edu/
