SHARE THE ROADThe warmer weather not only starts a new growing season but it also brings out the more people walking our roads. Please find below tips for both Pedestrians and Motorists on how to safely cohabitate our roads.Pedestrians, Cyclists and others: 1) Been Seen - at night wear reflective clothing, light coloured clothing, consider carrying a flashlight to light your way. 2) Cyclists - your bicycle is a vehicle, it is required to have proper lighting and reflective material on it both front and back. 3) Plan Your Journey - Ensure the street or trail you take to get to your destination is well lit and is clear to travel. 4) When walking along streets/roads, walking facing traffic, this gives you opportunity to see vehicles approaching and time to avoid those that may wander off the road. 5) When cycling along streets/roads, ride with traffic. 6) Be Aware - of other uses of the road you are on, whether they be motorized or not. 7) Be Predictable - as non motorized users, when walking or riding do so in a predicable safe and legal manner. Walk facing traffic not with it or in a wandering manner. Cycle with traffic, not against and obey the rules of the road. 8) Share our streets - as non motorized users on our streets respect our motorized users. Motorists: 1) Your Speed - travel at the posted speed limit, not above, reduce your speed with regards to the weather and road conditions. 2) Expect the Unexpected - expect to see walkers and cyclists sharing our streets with you. 3) Use the 2 Cs - Be Cautious and Courteous when approaching walkers and cyclists. Take care when passing these other users; the time you take to do this carefully is insignificant compared to your whole journey. 4) Share our streets - as motorized users on our streets respect our non motorized users. |
