FREE CYCLE REGISTRATION
This scheme records the ownership of a
cycle, so that in the event of theft or loss,
it can be returned to the owner if it is
recovered. It is very simple to register;
all that is required is your name, address,
make, model, colour of the bike and the
serial number (found under the frame).
These details are then entered onto a
secure database that allows police and
security to check the owner details of
a cycle 24/7. The scheme is open to
students, staff and family members.

campus Police Officer:

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
BE SEEN...BE SAFE
 Concentrate whilst you are crossing
the road. If you are talking on a mobile
phone or listening to music, pay extra
attention.
 Think about what you are wearing
as dressing all in black does not
help the car driver to see you. Try to
wear something bright or reflective,
especially in the dark.
ROAD
SAFETY
BE SEEN...BE SAFE
 If there is no pavement then always
walk on the side of the road facing
the traffic to ensure you can see any
approaching vehicles. Where possible,
avoid walking with your back to the
traffic and if you have to step into the
road, always look both ways first.
 When crossing the road, remember
to keep looking both ways. Always
use pedestrian crossings whenever
possible as these are there to help
you and drivers.
 Try not to cross the road between
parked cars. Walking a short distance
to find a clear view of the road or to
find a provided crossing could mean
avoiding a potential accident.
 Make sure you have plenty of time to
cross and do not run across the road.
