UPEI Security Services reminds the University community that the road that
runs around the perimeter of campus is considered a provincial highway and
is subject to the Highway Traffic Act.
Of particular concern is that some roadway users are not stopping at stop signs
which are often adjacent to pedestrian crosswalks. Please come to a full stop at all
stop signs to ensure both your safety and that of pedestrians.
Also, do not use cell phones while operating a vehicle. UPEI security officers patrol
Perimeter Road and may issue fines for traffic violations under the Highway
Traffic Act.
