Support for pedestrian awareness from IGU

With the cooperation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, a campaign was launched in 81 provinces on pedestrian awareness. Istanbul Gelisim University also signed a social experiment in order to support the campaign with the aim of creating awareness of pedestrian priority.

Campaigns are organized to raise awareness of the need to prioritize pedestrians at school crossings and intersections. In this context, IGU members wanted to cross the street using the crosswalk in front of the university rectorate building waiting for vehicles to give way 1 and a half minutes. During this period, only three of the 30 vehicles gave way to the pedestrian.

IGU members responding to the drivers who didn't give way with the ‘Red Whistle’ banners, thanked the drivers giving the way by distributing the stickers written ‘We Are All Together On This Way’.
