Funny you’re worried about that, when a lot of the intersections at OSU (especially around West Campus) lack a button to press before crossing. You usually end up waiting 5 minutes before the Walk Figure comes on. Furthermore, a large part of Olentangy River Road lacks a sidewalk to walk on, which makes it hard to go to Target. Even the portion of West Lane Avenue (Fred Beekman onwards) doesn’t have a sidewalk.

OSU has much bigger issues than parking alone. It is neither bike-friendly, nor pedestrian-friendly. And the people who drive here, especially CABS drivers, seem very reckless and seem to disregard the pedestrian’s right of way. Can’t tell you how many close calls I’ve had, especially along the intersections near High Street.
