Everyone is enjoying the trails, but please stay safe by keeping some these tips 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 the Right of 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.
  • Stop Means Stop - Obey all stop signs along the trail, paying special attention at street crossings.
