Pedestrians and Cyclists

Only ride on pavements and paths where you see either of these signs which indicate that shared use with pedestrians is allowed.

Many pedestrians feel insecure on routes shared with cyclists. If you are cycling on a shared route you must be considerate to pedestrians. Very young children, older pedestrians and people with disabilities are especially vulnerable.

Please remember to ... Slow down near pedestrians and stop if necessary. Let them know you are there - say "excuse me", or use a bell. Never assume they have heard you coming - some may be hard of hearing. Also give them as much room as possible - don't squeeze past.

Take care at corners or near obstructions. Ride with lights on at night and in poor light. Look out for passengers at bus stops. Always obey the signs.


Keep to your side of a white line or kerb on segregated routes.
