Here are Some Basic Reminders About Your Responsibility when Sharing the Road

PEDESTRIANS:
1. You have to cross IN the crosswalk or where one would normally be located. You have NO right of way crossing in the middle of the roadway and MUST yield to vehicle traffic.
2. You can’t Cross until it’s safe for you enter the roadway (a car on dry pavement takes about 111 feet to stop when they see you at 30 mph).
3. You can only cross on a GREEN light or when the pedestrian signal indicates walk at controlled intersections. Even if the cars break the law and stop for you to cross there.
4. If all of the above has been met, Please cross with caution in the crosswalk. You now have the right of way. Please remember this doesn’t make you indestructible, you can be lost in the ever-widening front windshield posts or still fall prey to distracted driving so Please Stay Alert.
5. Walk facing traffic.

BICYCLISTS:
1. You ARE NOT A PEDESTRIAN and must obey the motor vehicle laws including Stopping at red lights and Stopping and Yielding the right of way at stop signs. If you want the right of way as a pedestrian, dismount your bicycle follow 1-4 above and DO NOT remount your bicycle until you have crossed the road.
2. You must ride as nearly as practicable to the right side of the roadway, you may only occupy the lane when you must to avoid a hazard, pass slower moving traffic, to make a left turn or if you are traveling the same speed as traffic. If you can’t keep up with traffic you are obstructing the flow of traffic and breaking the motor vehicle law.
3. You can ride no more than two abreast so long as it doesn’t impede traffic.
4. Ride with Traffic.

MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVERS:
Let’s be practical, there’s a lot of laws regarding your operation so let’s keep it simple.
1. Driving is your only job and you need to focus on it. No phone, radio station or children yelling is worth a life.
2. Drive cautiously and defensively, with consideration for others.
3. Don’t hit anyone or anything (See, kept it simple).

At the end of the day, we really just want you all home safe with your family. So, let's be considerate and look out for each other out there.

Thank you for your time.
Please enjoy a safe and happy evening!
