Traffic Safety on Base:

  • - Motor Vehicle Safety

    • As you approach the gates, you will see a status board. A green arrow indicates that lane ahead lane is open for I.D. check. A red "X" indicates lane is closed for I.D. check.

    • DO NOT cross double white solid lines on base.

    • After entering USAFA, be cognizant of Pop-Up Barriers, and the Barrier Signal lights.

    • While driving on USAFA grounds, the use of hand-held cell phones is PROHIBITED (hands free phone calls are permitted.)

    • PLEASE pay attention when backing vehicles since this is the primary reason for accidents on base.

    • USAFA provides acceleration lanes for merging into traffic - please use to merge safely into high-speed traffic.

    • WATCH OUT FOR WILDLIFE!

    • We have 2 school zones on USAFA - if you speed <=25 mph in a school zone then fines will be doubled. If you speed >25 mph then you will be summoned to court.

See a Hazard – Report it!

  • Report hazards to the responsible supervisor or local agency. If the hazard is eliminated on the spot, no further action is required unless it applies to other similar operations or to other units or agencies.
  • If the hazard presents imminent danger, the supervisor or individual responsible for that area must take immediate action to correct the situation or apply interim control measures.
  • If the functional supervisor is not known, report hazards that can’t be corrected immediately to the USAFA Safety Office. This may be done with an AF Form 457, by telephone 333-3205, through email at USAFA.SEG@usafa.edu or in person. You may submit reports anonymously.
