New Signage at Crosswalks

In an effort to improve pedestrian safety, new signs have been posted at the
crosswalks on Bayview Boulevard and Mason Lord Drive (in front of the
BMO). Before crossing the street, pedestrians can push a button to turn on
flashing yellow lights, which will alert drivers to slow down and stop.

As a reminder, both drivers and pedestrians should be cautious as they

travel around campus.

Driver Safety
• Obey the speed limit. Most of the roads on campus are Baltimore City

streets, which means that law enforcement officials can fine you for
exceeding the speed limit (25 mph on Bayview Boulevard; 10-15 mph on

other roads).
• STOP at stop signs.
• Give pedestrians the right of way. Maryland law states that the driver

of a vehicle must stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Drivers who violate
this law can receive an $80 fine and one point on their license.

Pedestrian Safety
• Make yourself visible to drivers. Stand clear of buses, hedges, parked cars or other obstacles
before crossing so drivers can see you.

• Avoid dangerous behaviors. Always walk on the sidewalk; if there is no sidewalk, walk facing
traffic. Don't assume vehicles will stop; make eye contact with drivers—don’t just look at the vehicle.
• Look before you step. Cross streets at marked crosswalks or intersections, if possible. Watch for

turning vehicles; make sure the driver sees you and will stop for you.
