From Monday, September 04, 2023, Campus Security Services stepped up its enforcement of the No Thoroughfare Zone Policy, to achieve greater control and monitoring of persons and vehicles entering the Campus, and to enhance the level of safety and security for the Campus Community.
The UWI St. Augustine Campus was designated a ‘No Thoroughfare Zone’ in 2016. OnMondays to Fridays, except on public holidays, only authorised vehicles (those displaying valid UWI Vehicle Permits) are allowed to enter the campus via the North and South Entrances. Unauthorised vehicles (those without valid UWI Vehicle Permits) will be directed to the Visitors’ Entrance, the Daaga Gate, where persons will be more rigorously screened before being allowed to proceed onto the Campus.
The following measures will be implemented for the period September 04 to October 25, 2023:
- Additional UWI Estate Police Officers will be on duty at the North, South, Daaga and Heart Ease Gates during the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Mondays to Fridays, to redirect unauthorized vehicles and to perform the necessary security screenings
- Officers from the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service will work alongside UWI Estate Police to assist with managing vehicular traffic congestion on and around the campus
- The Daaga Gate (Visitor’s Entrance) will be restricted to entry only during the hours of 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on Mondays to Fridays. During this timeframe, one-way vehicular traffic will be implemented, from east to west, along the section of Lewis Avenue between the Daaga Gate and the junction of Lewis Avenue and Wooding Drive (that is the junction in front of the tennis court)
- UWI Estate Police Officers will be on duty at the northern junction of Lewis Avenue and Wooding Drive and at the junction in front of Daaga Auditorium, during the hours of 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on Mondays to Fridays to manage vehicular traffic. All motorists are asked to heed to their guidance
- Lewis Avenue, between Daaga Auditorium on the northern end, and Wooding Drive on the southern end, will be closed to vehicular traffic between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily for the duration of the registration period. Pedestrians and local vehicular traffic will be allowed access during this time.
We thank you for your cooperation as we continue to work together to provide a safe campus for all students, staff and visitors.
