NEU Traffic Rules and Safety
As part of Near East University’s commitment to a sustainable and safe campus, we have established specific traffic regulations designed to ensure the safety and comfort of our students, staff, and visitors. NEU personnel monitor these regulations 24/7, and penalties are enforced as necessary.
Traffic Flow and Priority: Traffic on the NEU campus flows in the left lane. Therefore, drivers are expected to use the left lane and observe right-of-way rules to allow other drivers to proceed smoothly.
Pedestrian and Bicycle-Priority Campus: Pedestrians and cyclists are given priority at designated crosswalks and bike paths. Speed limits are enforced on campus to ensure a safe environment for both pedestrians and cyclists.
Speed Limit: The maximum speed limit within the campus is 40 km/h. Adhering to this limit plays a crucial role in preventing accidents and maintaining overall safety.
Horns and Loud Noises: Honking and playing loud music are prohibited on campus. Following this rule helps maintain a peaceful environment
Routes and Parking Areas: Using designated routes and parking areas on campus supports safe driving. Vehicles are parked in designated parking areas on campus in accordance with the relevant rules.
Monitoring and Security: Traffic monitoring and security on campus is carried out by NEU security duties. Implementing security measures helps ensure the smooth flow of campus transportation and contributes to a more peaceful and safe working environment for everyone.
NEU traffic rules are displayed at the university's main entrances.
