Micromobility Safety and Security On-Campus |
When riding micromobility devices (e.g., bicycles, e-bicycles, scooters, e-scooters, one-wheels and skateboards), it is essential to follow the guidance below to help keep yourself and others safe. You can read more about safety recommendations in our Bicycle, Scooter and Skateboard guidelines.
|
- Never walk on micromobility paths.
- Be aware of your surroundings, particularly when crossing micromobility paths.
|
Ride Micromobility Devices Responsibly and Safely
|
-
Use micromobility paths or lanes and do not ride on sidewalks.
- Obey traffic signals and signage. Do not ride in restricted areas or during restricted times.
- Slow or dismount around pedestrians and yield right of way to pedestrians.
-
Travel at a reasonable speed (8 mph) on shared-use paths and at or below 15 mph on campus roadways.
- Do not use handheld electronic devices (e.g., cellular phones) while operating micromobility devices.
- Do not use headphones or earbuds in both ears.
- Two people should not ride on micromobility devices that are designed for one person.
-
Wear a helmet. UC San Diego affiliates can purchase a $10 Giro Isode MIPS or Quarter MIPS helmet from Campus Bike & Skate via Triton Commuter Club.
|
-
Register your ride with UC San Diego’s Bike Index account. Registration provides proof of ownership for device recovery and insurance. Bikes, scooters and other micromobility devices can be registered at no charge. As part of the registration process, take a photo of the device with serial number or other owner applied identifiers to share if the vehicle is taken.
-
Park and lock devices appropriately at racks and in enclosures. For added security, utilize the on-campus bike enclosures, HDH bike lockers, or MTS commuter lockers.
- U-Lock it! Purchase a U-Lock for $10 through Triton Commuter Club.
- Watch this micromobility safety and security video to see examples of best practices.
