The JMU campus has multiple sidewalks, service roads, and shared-use paths to accommodate pedestrians. These facilities include pedestrian-activated traffic signals and flashing crosswalks lights, as well as wayside lighting and emergency call boxes. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan prescribes several future pedestrian infrastructure improvements, which will be implemented during the upcoming years.

To ensure safety, it’s recommended that all pedestrians stay aware of their surroundings, including vehicular traffic at all times. This is especially important during class change times when everyone is rushing to get to class.

Students who choose to walk to classes are benefiting both themselves and their community. 

Students can reference the CommonHealth Green Walking Tips for tips and information on walking.
