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.
