Together, we’re learning to safely share our streets with people on bikes, e-bikes, pedestrians, motorists, e-scooters & other rolling devices.
Drivers
Drive with care.
When you get behind the wheel, you’re responsible for operating a one-ton piece of equipment! Put down the distractions, check your speed, and stay vigilant of those around you – other cars, pedestrians or bicycles included.
Keep that seatbelt on!
When you enter ANY vehicle: buckle up! It’s your best friend in case of unexpected stops or swerves.
Shine bright like a diamond!
Make sure all lights on your vehicle function properly before hitting
the road.
That text can wait
Put down the phone and focus on driving. Do not text or take calls while driving, and always avoid flipping through music or searching for directions while your car is moving.
Communication is key
Those turn signals aren’t there just for fun – they help you communicate with those around you.
Use caution at intersections
Slow down and double check for people walking or biking before you make that turn.
Know when to take a break!
Sure, that extra caffeine may sound like a good idea. But if you’re getting drowsy, the best thing to do is find a safe space to pull over and take a break.
cyclists / scooters
ride with care.
You may only be on two wheels, but bicyclists and scooters are required to follow the same rules of the road as drivers! Use bike lanes, if available, and always stay vigilant of your surroundings.
Helmet Hair, Don’t Care
Strap on that helmet and ride with confidence, knowing you’re
protected from unexpected bumps in the road.
Stay Visible, Stay Safe
Bright colors are definitely a fashion statement, but they keep you
safe too! Put on those eye-catching hues, especially when riding or
walking at dusk or dawn. And don’t forget those reflective strips!
Assume They Don’t See You
Approach riding your bicycle as though oncoming drivers don’t see
you. Stay focused and vigilant!
Treat red lights as stop signs
Bicyclists must stop at red lights, but if there is no oncoming traffic,
you may continue on your route.
Scoot Along!
If you’re using a scooter, make sure you don’t leave it parked in the street or middle of the sidewalk where it could block someone’s
route. It’s not cool to impede someone’s path!
PEDESTRIANS/WHEELCHAIRS
Move with Care.
You’ve heard “look both ways before you cross the street” a thousand times. But do you know how else you can stay safe while moving outside? Commuting to work, getting some exercise, or just enjoying a walk in the sun – no matter what moves you, make sure you get where you’re going safely.
Stay visible! Stay bright! And always carry a light at night.
If other people can’t see you, it increases your chance of being
injured in a collision.
Watch out for cars turning at intersections.
You may see them, but they don’t always see you. Keep your eyes
on the road and your head on a swivel when you’re crossing an
intersection.
Avoid Distractions
Who doesn’t love to pop in their headphones and listen to a good
podcast? But it’s even better when you can still process what’s
going on around you. Make sure you’re able to hear approaching
cars, passing bikes or other pedestrians.
Use crosswalks when available.
They aren’t just there to look pretty! If crossing the street, especially
at a major intersection, make sure you wait for the light to signal it’s
your turn to go before moving through the marked crosswalk.
