[11.4.6.] Pedestrian priority on campus 

Prioritise pedestrian access on campus

Pusan National University(PNU) implements policies and programs to create a pedestrian-centered, safe traffic environment in line with its Traffic Management Regulations, Detailed Operating Rules, and Safety Management Regulations for Personal Mobility Devices.

1. PNU operates a Traffic Management Committee. At its first 2024 meeting, members discussed measures to prevent traffic accidents and protect pedestrians. The university has since widened sidewalks in high-traffic and steep areas and undertaken pedestrian-focused improvements, including additional crosswalks.

2. In 2024, PNU completed a policy research project titled “Study on the Improvement of the Environment Around the Main Gate of PNU,” which analyzed surrounding road issues and proposed measures to enhance pedestrian safety.

3. In response to an increase in fender-benders involving shared mobility, PNU launched a safety campaign in 2024 targeting students who use these services.

4. Additional pedestrian safety measures include reinforcing traffic-safety facilities, introducing a Traffic Safety Guardian system (a guard dedicated to pedestrian safety), and enforcing regulations against illegal parking and speeding.
