while discouraging the use of private motor vehicles.
q The campus is connected through several arterial roads connecting the academic, recreational, and
residential buildings.
q Pathways are wide enough to allow spontaneous meetings and allow high pedestrian and bicycle
use at peak times.
q Adequate number of signage is present through the campus to avoid any kind of confusion.

q Separate emergency vehicular road is provided.


q Congestion occurs frequently between bicycles and pedestrians on pathways during peak class
changing times.

q Separate pathways are created for the disables and elevators are even provided in every building so
that they do not have any difficulty in reaching places.
