The main avenue was closed to personal vehicles but they had the barriers that automatically lowered for campus shuttles.

Sound crazy? I went to school in western MA, and none of the five colleges in my town allowed cars on any of the campuses. In fact, the first time I went to college park I was shocked that there were cars on the campus, because to me that was actually a novel concept. Amazingly, the campuses functioned just fine without cars on them. People just brought bicycles or walked instead. I never even thoughough twice about it. Shocking, I know! easy – don’t let cars on campus.
