Operators may not do tricks or stunts. Such devices are limited to use as transportation. • Riding devices may only be used upon pedestrian pathways. Riding such devices on roadways or in parking lots is strictly prohibited at all times – because the University has determined that such uses would present unacceptable risks of injury to riders and other users, and unacceptable impeding of motor vehicle traffic in such areas. Also, the University may identify and by appropriate signage designate certain areas in which riding of any particular type of riding device is prohibited (e.g. it may designate certain pedestrian pathways as off - limits for skateboard riding because risk of personal injury are heightened due to steep grades or congestion). Persons riding such devices shall comply with all official traffic control devices and signs including posted signs prohibiting riding in a particular designated location. Device users may dismount and carry their devices across any pedestrian accessible area in which riding of such devices is prohibited. • Every person operating a riding device in any pedestrian accessible area shall yield the right of way to pedestrians at all times. • Every person riding a device shall ride their device in a controlled manner and shall exercise due care and reasonable caution to prevent injury to others, to self, or to property. Individuals using such devices upon the campus of Kutztown University do so at their own risk. • Riding devices may not be operated two or more abreast on any pedestrian pathway, except as part of a university approved competition or function. KU Alert Emergency Messaging Systems In the event of an emergency, timely and accurate communication of information is critical. Current students’ primary mobile phone number on record with KU will receive emergency text alerts automatically* via KU’s mass text message warning system powered by Omnilert. You can customize your account to add an additional mobile number (e.g., for your parents) and email address. Kutztown University has developed a plan for emergency communication that utilizes multiple and redundant methods of communication and notification, in order to maximize the effectiveness and reach of the emergency information. For more information, please visit www.kutztown.edu/KUAlert. *If you desired, you may opt out of receiving these important text alerts when you complete your terms and conditions in MyKU at the beginning of each semester.
