1) Strict enforcement of policies prohibiting road safety violations, including mandatory seat belt use and helmet use
SWU enforces clear and strict road safety regulations across both campuses, requiring mandatory helmet use for all motorcyclists and mandatory seat belt use for all vehicle users within and around the University premises. The University has issued a formal announcement outlining campus traffic rules, speed limits, prohibited behaviors, and penalties for violations. Security officers and campus patrol teams regularly monitor compliance through checkpoints and visual inspections, ensuring that all students, staff, and visitors adhere to designated safety measures.
Evidence:
2) Road safety education programs for students and staff
The University actively promotes road safety awareness through various health and safety campaigns, including public education materials, student engagement activities, and safety reminders distributed through official websites and campus communication channels. These programs emphasize safe driving practices, responsible motorcycle use, and adherence to traffic laws—particularly targeting high-risk groups such as student motorcyclists. The Faculty of Physical Education and student activity units also provide preventive education on accident risks and safe commuting behaviors.
Evidence:
3) Development of a safe physical environment that minimizes risks of traffic accidents
SWU maintains and develops a physical environment designed to reduce traffic accidents, ensuring safe mobility across the campuses. Measures include well-maintained roads, pedestrian walkways, crosswalks, bicycle paths, speed-control mechanisms, regulated parking areas, and traffic signage. The University also implements controlled entry and exit points, parking management systems, and designated drop-off zones to reduce congestion and prevent collisions. These infrastructure improvements are updated regularly to maintain safety standards.
Evidence:
4) Comprehensive emergency management protocols with clear guidelines and training
SWU maintains structured emergency response protocols that include procedures for traffic accidents, first-aid coordination, emergency medical transport, and communication with campus security. Staff and officers receive periodic guidance on responding to road emergencies, and the University provides clear channels for contacting assistance. Emergency protocol documents also detail steps for incident reporting, safety zone activation, and coordination with local hospitals and rescue teams.
Evidence:
5) Any other innovative road safety measures implemented
SWU implements additional innovative safety initiatives such as:
Helmet-safety campaigns (“SWU Cares for Safe Riding”) to increase compliance among motorcyclists.
Digital platforms promoting road safety information and alerts.
Integration of environmental sustainability with road safety, such as eco-friendly commuting guidelines and traffic-calming measures.
Collaboration with faculties and student groups to promote responsible mobility culture.
These actions go beyond basic compliance and foster long-term behavioral change within the campus community.
