Save a Hilltopper!

  • Tuesday, November 10th, 2026

Hilltopper Family -

 Campus is a busy place.  You play an important part in protecting the safety of your fellow Hilltoppers.  When you drive around campus, remember the following safety tips: 

  1. Never Pass a Stopped Bus! Buses can shield your view of pedestrians crossing the street.  Passing a stopped bus increases the chance of striking a pedestrian you can't see.
  1. Watch for pedestrians!  They are everywhere and they may not see you.
  1. Slow down!  Due to the high volume of pedestrians, the campus speed limit is 15 mph.

We all share a responsibility for making the WKU Campus a safe place to learn, work and live.  Keep your fellow Hilltoppers safe by staying behind stopped buses, always watching for pedestrians and slowing down.

Go Tops!
