Trail Etiquette: Share the Trail
June 27, 2017 Leave a comment
With more people using the PATH it is a good time to review trail etiquette.Let’s make sure everyone has a good ride or walk. These tips are from the League of American Bicyclists……
- Respect all trail users
- Yield to slower users
- Obey the rules of the trail
- Use a bell, horn or voice to indicate your intention to pass
- Warn other well in advance so you do not startle them
- Yield to traffic at places where the trail crosses the road
- Yield to other users at trail intersections
- Stay as close to the right as possible, except when passing
- Pull out only when you are sure the lane is clear
- Allow plenty of room, about two bike lengths, before moving back to the right
- Travel in a straight line unless you are avoiding hazards or passing
- Indicate your intention to turn or pass
Use Lights at Night
- Most trial users will not have lights at night; use a white front and red rear light.
- For group rides, use no more than half the trail
- Stop and regroup completely off the trail
