Trails Etiquette
Here are some trail etiquettes to keep in mind:
- Keep Right - Stay to the right side of the trail as is safe, except when passing another user.
- Pass on the Left - Pass others, going in your direction, on their left. Faster traffic must yield to slower and oncoming traffic.
- Give Audible Signal - When passing a frequently used warning is…“PASSING ON YOUR LEFT.” A clear warning signal may be given by voice, bell or horn.
- Yield Way – Yield the Right of Way to anyone slower than you. Cyclists yield to runners & walkers. Runners yield to walkers.
- Be Predictable - Travel in a consistent and predictable manner. Always look behind before changing position on the trail.
- Don’t Block the Trail - When in a group, avoid using more than half the trail and provide plenty of space for social distancing while passing.
- Dog Walkers - Keep dogs under control and on a 6’ non-retractable leash.
- Stop Means Stop - Obey all stop signs along the trail, paying special attention at street crossings.
