Tips for Trail Safety

Trails are shared recreation amenities and are accessed by a variety of users at the same time. Please be courteous to all users, and remember that pedestrians have the right-of-way.

• All trail users should stay to the right on the trail.
• Never use the trails at dark and always follow posted regulations.
• Bicyclists should pull off the trail when stopping to avoid a possible accident.
• Bicyclists approaching pedestrians should make an advanced noise using voice, bell, or horn to avoid startling walkers.
• Bicyclists should always wear a helmet and ride at speeds that do not exceed 12 miles per hour.
• Pets should be kept on short leash and people must clean up after their pets.
• Be sure to carry identification (which includes name, phone number, and pertinent medical information), and record your bicycle serial number.
• Carry coins for phone calls or have a cell phone.
• Prior to using new trail take the time to familiarize yourself with the trail and plan your route.
• Tell friends or family the route you'll be taking, and always travel with a partner when possible.
• Avoid unfamiliar areas when on the trails alone.
• Stay alert, be observant about your surroundings and avoid areas where visibility is poor.
• Never wear headsets.
• Wear reflective material and carry a whistle or noisemaker.
• Use discretion when acknowledging strangers, and follow your intuition about unfamiliar people and areas.
• When on roadways, remember to ride with traffic, but walk and run against traffic.
• Always carry tools to repair minor issues and especially have supplies to change a flat tire.
• Trails are available for use from sunrise to sunset each day.
