Last year, changes to the use of shared spaces on the Academic Campus were announced in a Lens Post. In light of the low level of compliance observed with the implemented changes, we want to remind our micro-mobility community about the changes in an effort to improve compliance.
While KAUST encourages the use of micro-mobility devices on campus, we rely on our community of micro-mobility users doing their part in Keeping KAUST Safe by using these devices only in authorized areas and operating them safely to avoid impacting pedestrians.
Electric-powered micro-mobility may only be ridden on the pathway behind Buildings 2 to 5, as shown on the map below. This area is well suited for riding and has access to academic buildings and access to the pathway from both entry points. Electric-powered micro-mobility may only be used in other areas within the Academic Campus when in human-powered mode.
If you see something, say something
Any member of our community who notices irresponsible use of micro-mobility devices is encouraged to report the incident immediately to the Security team for investigation by completing the Traffic Complaint form. A new function on MyGA under “Traffic Violations” has been introduced, providing a direct link to the Traffic Complaint form.
For more road safety information and resources, please read the KAUST Road Safety Code, visit hse.kaust.edu.sa, or contact us at hse@kaust.edu.sa.
Thank you for Keeping KAUST Safe.
