Respectful use of shared pathways

•    Our Shared Pathways are for Everyone - when cycling on shared pathways, always wear a helmet and keep to the left.

•    If you’re planning to pass someone, slow down and use your bell or horn to let them know you’re close by.

•    Travel at a speed that is safe for you and the pedestrians you encounter.

•    Keep dogs on short leads and under control at all times.

•    Help create an inclusive space for people with disabilities and remember that not all disabilities are visible – some people may be hard of hearing, have limited mobility or have vision and cognitive impairments.

Let’s keep shared pathways as they have been intended, as a shared, welcoming and safe place for everyone to enjoy!
