SECURITY UPDATE

Working in occupations that involve emergency response can be very dangerous. We are committed to doing our part to care for those who care for us, so remember these important rules when approaching authorized emergency vehicles on or around campus: Upon the immediate approach of an authorized emergency vehicle displaying flashing emergency lights or when the driver is giving audible signal by siren, exhaust whistle or bell, the driver of every other vehicle shall immediately yield the right of way and move to the right-hand edge or curb of the roadway clear of any intersection and remain stopped until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed.

When approaching a stationary authorized emergency vehicle displaying flashing emergency lights, unless otherwise directed, the driver of a vehicle shall:

If reasonably safe to do so, drive in a lane not adjacent to where the authorized emergency vehicle is stopped, decrease the speed of the vehicle to a speed that is reasonable and prudent under the circumstances and proceed with caution; and/or be prepared to stop.

Remember, you can be cited for failure to observe these rules!

For more information please contact the Safety/Security Department at (575) 624-7180 or visit our office located between the IC and ITC buildings.
