Motorist safety

Henry Ford said, “Everything else in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car.” His statement rings true today, especially for those who commute to campus by motor vehicle. The intermix of motor vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists makes the campus a unique traffic environment. Safety for everyone on the road is of paramount importance, so be sure you know the law before you start your engine!

The least you need to know

  • All roadways on campus are public roadways, subject to the laws of the Arizona Revised Statutes’ traffic code
  • The campus speed limit is 15 MPH, which is enforced by radar
  • Citations issued by the police department are handled through the Flagstaff Justice Court
