Columbia International University's Security听team has been busy this summer overseeing a number of improvements on the campus roads designed to make travel safer for both pedestrians and motorists.

The most noticeable change is traffic calming devices that have been installed mainly on what is commonly known as 鈥淕rad Hill鈥 in the center of campus. It includes the parking lot separating the Schuster Building and Ben Lippen School, 自慰视频鈥檚 Pre-K to 12th grade Christian school. Traffic is particularly heavy there in the morning as parents drop off their children at Ben Lippen.

鈥淭here are pedestrians crossing the parking lot to get to work and class,鈥 said 自慰视频 Chief of Security Stephen Pearrow. We have to be able to slow the traffic and make pedestrians and drivers aware of their surroundings.鈥

Among the safety devices that are now in place are pedestrian crossing signs, pedestrian crossing lanes, speed humps and traffic delineators 鈥 reflective posts separating traffic lanes leading up Grad Hill.

Speed humps have also been added on the parkway at the rear of campus leading to Pine View Apartments, adjacent to the outdoor basketball courts.

While speed limits on campus have not changed, Pearrow says there will be increased enforcement of campus traffic laws.听

鈥淲e have purchased a RADAR speed sign,鈥 Pearrow added. 鈥淭his will allow drivers to see their speed as they are driving. It is portable and will be moved around campus.鈥

Plus, Security officers have new technology called LiDAR, enabling them to check speed of vehicles.

鈥淭hese LiDAR devises use laser to detect the speed of any vehicle and only that vehicle,鈥 Pearrow said.听听 鈥淭here will be more enforcement on speeding, disregarding stop signs, and pedestrian crossing signs. We will be checking heavily on parking in handicapped parking spaces and fire lanes. We will be checking parking passes on vehicles as well.鈥

While Pearrow says Security will not be heavy-handed on ticket writing, officers will stop vehicles for violations of laws and 自慰视频 policies.

鈥溩晕渴悠 Security wants to help students, faculty and staff change bad habits and poor decisions behind the wheel of their vehicle,鈥 Pearrow said. 鈥淲e will use tickets in the effort to educate drivers and keep them and others safe.鈥
