Safe Trails are Happy Trails.

Mid-Block Crossings can be confusing for everyone.  Who has the right of way? When should cars stop? When can pedestrians cross?

Watch this video to learn more about the proper way to navigate crossing in the middle of a street, rather than at an intersection! 

When traveling on city streets, bicycles have the same duties and rights as motorists.  Know and practice the rules of the road.
