AIMS AND GENERAL PRINCIPLES

All rules and regulations are for your own safety!

• The rules of the university are a set of measures which are intended to prevent traffic accidents within the campus, provide parking rules to facilitate parking, and minimize, to the fullest extend possible, the factor that lead to the loss of life and property. These rules are derived from the Turkish Traffic Laws (No. 2918) and  the decision taken by the administration of the University.
•  Driving motorized and non-motorized vehicles within the boundaries of Bilkent University is a Privilege granted by the University. It is not a natural right possessed by the University staff, students or visitors.
• Drivers must obey the traffic rules, which are in effect 24 hours a day, and the warnings of the University Security Office (SSGM) who assist in the enforcement of these rules. Otherwise, sanctions will be imposed according to the type of violation.
• Pedestrians have the right of way in the University. Drivers approaching a pedestrian crossing must slow down and come to a complete stop when a pedestrian is approaching or waiting to cross.
• Academic and administrative staff and students can submit, in writing, proposals to the Traffic Committee for the effective enforcement of traffic rules and prevention of traffic accidents.
• The Traffic Committee is the highest body of the Traffic Administration. This committee is the decision-making authority of all traffic related issues; it is also the authority in case of objections to imposed sanctions. The members of this committee are appointed by the office of Rector a month prior to the start of each academic year.
