NTU puts the human-centric transportation concept into practice.
Adhering to a people-oriented transportation philosophy, National Taiwan University prioritizes pedestrian use of its campus roads, encourages the use of public transportation, and discourages the use of private vehicles. With pedestrian safety as its top priority, the university has established pedestrian zones, implemented pedestrian and vehicular traffic separation, installed barrier-free facilities, and constructed climate-controlled pedestrian walkways. In 2023, dedicated lanes were built to separate pedestrians and cyclists in high-traffic cycling areas. To ensure pedestrian safety at night and protect the natural environment, the university has revamped its nighttime lighting system in 2023, eliminating dark spots and providing safe pedestrian paths.
