Police: Drive, Bike Safely on Campus
Friday's accident led DPS
to stress the importance
of safety for pedestrians
and cyclists on campus.
Bv Daniel Thigpen
Assistant University Editor
Almost two weeks after the
Department of Public Safety launched a
program to ensure pedestrian and bicy
clist safety, a Friday accident has
prompted officials to re-emphasize the
importance of caution when traveling
on and off campus.
Chapel Hill resident John Farley was
thrown from his bicycle and suffered
minor injuries Friday after colliding with
a vehicle just off of Raleigh Road.
Farley was traveling on the sidewalk
when the vehicle was pulling out of the

veway at the same time.
The driver, Will Stanley, said he was
not able to see Farley because of shrubs
blocking his view.
Officer Wilbur Fike of the DPS
Traffic and Pedestrian unit said Friday’s
incident demonstrated the need for dri
vers to pay more attention to their sur
roundings and for cyclists to avoid rid
ing on sidewalks.
“Basically, drivers should always be
alert, particularly looking out for pedes
trians as well as cyclists,” Fike said.
Fike works with anew campaign ini
tiated by DPS at the end of August to
raise awareness about pedestrian and
bicyclist safety.
The campaign includes patrols at
heavy campus intersections and educa
tional presentations.
Fike said Friday’s accident was unfor
tunate but that the situation does not
indicate a flaw in the campaign’s out
reach. “Of course we don’t want any
accidents, but these kinds of things will
happen," he said.
DPS has no intentions of slowing
down the campaign, Fike said, and, if
anything, the accident sets an example.
“We have to continue to work toward
the goals we have,”
he said.
To prevent
future incidents
similar to last
week’s, Fike said
bicyclists need to
be responsible and
stay off sidewalks.
“The risk of (a
similar accident)
happening is prob-

ably more than we know of,” he said.
Fike said people who travel by bike
might feel safer traveling on sidewalks
than in the street, but reminded students
that riding on sidewalks is against the
law and poses extra dangers for pedes
