NTHU pedestrian-first campus

1. Establishment of a Traffic Committee:

NTHU is committed to creating a pedestrian-prioritized campus environment. To improve traffic conditions and environmental quality, and to ensure the safety of both pedestrians and vehicles, a Traffic Committee has been established to oversee and promote various campus traffic management measures.

2. Designation of Pedestrian-Prioritized Zones:

NTHU has designated several pedestrian-prioritized zones across the campus, including zebra crossings and designated pedestrian walkways. Furthermore, to foster a pedestrian-centric environment, vehicle access to roads surrounding campus dining facilities is prohibited during meal times.

3. Continuous Improvement of Accessibility Facilities:

Since 2009, the university has annually applied for and participated in the Ministry of Education’s campus accessibility improvement program. These enhancements encompass teaching areas, administrative offices, public spaces, and dormitories. The scope of improvements includes entrances and exits, ramps (with handrails), doors and windows, outdoor plazas, indoor and outdoor pathways, restroom facilities, signage, drinking water stations, stairwells, elevators/lifts, information service terminals, parking spaces, electrical outlets and switches, as well as various teaching, learning, office, and electronic equipment and facilities.
