Traffic Management
The UFS has traffic officers appointed by the MEC for Community Safety, Roads and Transport who are responsible for traffic law enforcement on the campuses to ensure smooth and safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians. They also see to it that all vehicles have the necessary access permits, which must be displayed visibly on the windshield. These permits are valid for one year.
Temporary permits can be obtained for short-term use.
