UCI Parking and Transportation Services is committed to providing a safe environment for everyone as you make your way about campus –
whether you choose to drive, bike or walk. New signage and stenciling on campus paths is one more step in this direction.
No matter what mode of transportation you use to get around campus, you are a pedestrian at some point in your trip,
and it is important to be aware of the responsibilities you have as a pedestrian in maintaining a safe and and efficient
traveling environment.
You can do your part by staying in your designated lane and practicing good Safety Etiquette. Pay attention to your surroundings
as you walk in order to keep everyone safe and reduce stress.

Share the Path. Abide by posted signage and path markings.
Stay to the right, be responsible, and always share the path. Bicyclists and in-line skaters should pass on the left.
Use the Ring Mall. Help alleviate congestion on the shared paths by traveling on Ring Mall when possible.
Be Alert. Walk defensively and be ready for unexpected events. Don’t count on other path users
always paying attention. Cyclists use bells and vocal cues, so make sure you can hear approaching traffic by removing your headphones.
Be Predictable. Acknowledge others, and try to use eye contact and other body language
to communicate your presence to other path users. Check for bikes before crossing paths. Any movement
a pedestrian makes that a bicyclist isn’t expecting could be dangerous.
Adjust Your Route. Plan your route according to current conditions; the shortest route is not always the safest.
Steer clear of poorly lit or secluded paths at night, and avoid construction zones altogether when possible.
Be Careful in Parking Lots. Watch out for parked cars that may suddenly back out of a space.
Avoid walking in the middle of drive aisles.
