Rescheduled Workkeys Testing
Speed Limit and New Speed Bumps
Please note that the campus-wide posted speed limit is 25 miles per hour. Speed limit signs are also posted throughout the campus.
In an effort to address speeding and safety concerns, we have installed speed bumps. These speed bumps have been installed in compliance with codes and have been painted safety yellow for visibility. Signs are posted in advance advising visitors of the speed bumps ahead in the traffic pattern. Visitors should follow these speed limit signs and use caution as directed from signs and safety yellow speed bumps.
Thank you for doing your part to ensure that our campus is safe.
