34.06.99.C2	Vehicle/Pedestrian Sidewalk Traffic
	Approved March 4, 1997

To protect the safety of pedestrians and prevent damage to campus walkways and other facilities, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi has developed the following rules concerning the use of campus sidewalks.
1.	Unauthorized vehicles will not be allowed on campus sidewalks. Authorization to use a vehicle on campus sidewalks must be obtained from the University Police and appropriate building contact persons. Offices that need to transport items to or from vehicles on a regular basis should purchase dollies or request Physical Plant to move the items.
2.	Measures will be taken to minimize traffic by service vehicles along the spine of the campus. The spine refers to the interior walkways that extend from the Center for the Sciences past the Library to Corpus Christi Hall. The spine is a pedestrian right of way. Service vehicles must yield to pedestrians when on or crossing the spine. Service vehicles will not exceed the speed of normal pedestrian traffic on the spine. Drivers of service vehicles should access buildings from designated exterior routes and not along the spine. Measures to minimize traffic by service vehicles may include the establishment of one-way traffic patterns in designated areas and other actions deemed necessary to promote sidewalk safety.
3.	The following rules apply to roller skates, rollerblades, bicycles, skateboards, and all other non-motorized transportation devices:
	3.1 Non-motorized transportation devices will not be used inside any building. 3.2 Between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., roller skates, rollerblades, bicycles, skateboards and other non-motorized transportation devices will not be permitted around the buildings on the interior walkways (along the spine of the campus). 3.3 Non-motorized transportation devices will not exceed the speed of normal pedestrian traffic when on the spine or other interior walkway. 3.4 Non-motorized transportation devices will not be operated in a reckless or negligent manner anywhere on campus. Reckless or negligent behavior with non-motorized transportation devices may be a cause for disciplinary action. 3.5 Helmets and other personal safety equipment are strongly recommended for those using non-motorized transportation devices on campus. 3.6 Bicycles may be parked only in designated bicycle racks. Bicycles may be stored within the student apartments.
4.	The Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration, or designee, will be responsible for enforcement of the above rules and for the development of other measures related to sidewalk safety.
