The operator of a bicycle must give the right of way to pedestrians at all times. Bicycles may not be secured to any tree, shrub, or plant, including average step railings, or any structure NOT designated as a bicycle rack or locking facility. An exception is a chain-link fence. Bicycles may not be left unattended on any sidewalk, street, driveway, loading zone, fire lane, building, porch or patio, or pedestrian mall. All violations of campus bicycle regulations are considered minor traffic violations and penalty fees will be assessed accordingly.
State law requires bicycle riders to obey all traffic control devices, stop signs, etc.
Special bicycle lockers located near residence hall areas are available through the Department of Residence Life and Student Housing for a small fee per semester. All persons who are engaged in the activity of in-line skating must do so with proper safety equipment. The minimum safety equipment required are wrist braces, knee pads, elbow pads, and a helmet that has been certified to meet the ANSI or Snell testing standards. Other procedural requirements, adapted from materials of the International In-Line Skating Association, may be obtained from the SMU PD offices. In-line skating can only be practiced during daylight hours.
