Ride Safe 'n Smart

Know the rules about your ride!  

Safety guidlines for  ebikes, e scooters and motor bikes

Six simple ways to ride safe and smart:

  1. Ride right, pass left. Stay on the right side of the trail. Pass others on the left.
  2. Speak up before you pass. Give a friendly call like, “On your left!” so others are not surprised and have time to move.
  3. Pedestrians always have the right-of-way. Riders should slow down, yield and pass with care on sidewalks, trails and in crosswalks.
  4. Slow down and stay in control. Even if your e-bike or scooter can go fast, ride at a speed that gives you time to react to people, pets and turns.
  5. Look both ways. Stop and look before you cross the street, go into an intersection or turn onto another trail or sidewalk.
  6. Be visible. Make sure people can see you, day or night. Use bike lights or reflective gear.
