Trails
Our trails are great for walking, running and cycling. They are also a safe, environmentally-friendly way to get around City.
Trail etiquette for shared trails (pedestrians and cyclists) includes:
- All users (pedestrians & cyclists) keep to the right side of the trail, except when passing another user.
- Cyclists passing to the left of other trail users should slow down to pass, ensure the trail ahead is clear for passing and give a clear signal (voice, bell or horn) before passing. Cyclists should give the person they are passing time to respond and watch for reactions.
- Cyclists should control their speed being mindful that different types of trail users are present.
- Dog walkers keep leashes short to minimize tripping or impeding the movement of other trail users.
