Whether on roller skates, in-line skates, roller blades, or skateboards, skating across the Kansas State University campus can be a great way to get around from class, to class or to your office. However, we must remember that as skaters, we share the campus with thousands of others. It is very important that we use safety, courtesy and caution, not only for our protection, but for the other members of our community. The University Police Department hopes this page will help make everyone's skating safe, fun and convenient while on the k-State campus.
Being safe should always be on your mind. You can get going very fast and even the best ones fall. Your helmet could save your life.
Like your helmet, knee and elbow pads and wrist guards can help prevent serious injuries, using the right equipment can help you continue to enjoy skating.
It is very important that you be visible while skating across campus. For maximum visibility, always wear bright and/or reflective clothing. This will help you be seen during the day and night.
These guidelines were created for increased awareness and safety for our campus skaters and skateboarders. On the K-State campus, the use of in-line skates and skateboards is permitted on university pathways designed for bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Skateboarding is permitted for individual transportation in university bike lanes. Skating and skateboards will NOT be permitted on buildings, rails, steps, retaining or landscape walls, benches, handrails, etc. All skaters and skateboarders must follow the safety rules. All skaters and skateboarders must yield the right of way to pedestrian and vehicular traffic at all times. Only cautious use of skates and skateboards will be permitted on campus. Skating and skateboarding will NOT be permitted in any university building.
