He added that the roads and streets of Kuwait University are subject to monitoring and direct supervision by the Security and Safety Department in coordination with the Ministry of Interior, where traffic violations are recorded and referred to the Ministry for the necessary action. The campaign also includes awareness about the new traffic law and its amendments, with the goal of raising the level of awareness among students in this regard.

Al-Khamees pointed out that the campaign also includes introducing the new gates such as gates 9B and A, in addition to announcing the “Masar” service, which will be launched soon. He emphasized that what distinguishes this campaign is the direct outreach to students inside classrooms to deliver awareness in an interactive and engaging manner, expressing his gratitude to all participants who contributed to the success of this initiative.
