Universities in China adopt closed planning layout basically. The demand for non-motorized vehicles is strong and the traffic characteristics are prominent, which is different from the conditions of external roads. Considering the availability of surveillance video in Tsinghua University and the convenience of observing the traffic environment, this paper takes roads on campus as the objects to analyse the characteristics of its non-motorized traffic and make comparison with external ones. The results of campus traffic will not only help us understand the current situation and improve traffic safety, but also provide a basis for solving traffic problems in similar spaces such as unit courtyards, residential quarters, etc..
