University installs portable speed bumps on Loop Road to improve student street safety on campus
Last week, the University installed portable speed bumps along various parts of Loop Road to improve campus street safety, according to Director of Public Safety Ed Callahan. Callahan wrote in an email to the Justice that the University made the choice to go with portable speed bumps “so that we can remove them if there are any issues with the snowplows.” He added that they may choose to install additional speed bumps in other locations at a later date. Callahan also stated in his email that the University has implemented the speed bumps “in response to community concerns about speeding vehicles and pedestrian safety.” He also included some additional safety tips in his email, advising students and community members to “be mindful whenever and however they are traveling on or across campus.” Callahan suggested, “When walking to or on campus, be aware of oncoming traffic when you cross a road, and only cross at a designated crosswalk.” He warned that students should not check their phones or respond to emails or texts while crossing the street, and, “When crossing South Street, use the designated crosswalks by the Epstein Building or the Linsey Pool and engage the crossing lights.
