Campus Opinion
Editorial: Walking
safety on campus
By Dina Di Maio
Walkers on the Meredith campus are careful. They act responsibly. When they
walk at night, they are usually never alone. That is safe. They wear proper clothing
foraerobicactivityandfordriverstoseethem. That issmart. However, thereisone
thing 1 notice they neglect doing, and it worries me about their welfere.
Some walkers at Meredith walk in the street, not on the sides of the road as you
would think. And often, they do not move out of the way when a car approaches.
Not moving out of the way of an approaching car is very dangerous for the walker,
a.s well as the driver.
This situation is not safe for the driver because the driver may not see a car
coming ftx)m the opposite lane while trying to pass the walkers. It puts the driver
in a very unsafe position, endangering their life as well as an oncoming driver’s life
because some walkers wouldn’t move to the side of the road.
This situjUion is also unsafe for w^kers. If they are walking in tlie street, they
have a higher chance of gating hit by a car.
Chief Shanuck and the security department have posted memos around
campus aboirt waking safety. A member of the security staff said that it is Very
unsafe" to walk on the roadways and especially unsafe not to move out of a
vehide’s way.
1 know walkers on Meredith's CMipus are intelligent and street smart. I know
they wfll heed the rules that will keep them and others safe.
