Safe Roads

The Safe Roads Program integrates and uses the 5 'E' approach: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Engagement, and Evaluation into one framework to maximize key resources.  This is done by working together with partners to:

  • Reduce crashes.
  • Create a safer road network.
  • Raise the profile of road safety in the community.
Safe Road Tip: Multi-use Pathway Safety

Here are some tips to stay safe while using multi-use pathways.

 

  • Travel on the right side of the pathway.
  • To pass a user, use the left side of the path when safe to do so.
  • Use a bell or your voice to tell a user you are passing them.
  • Wear bright or reflective clothing especially when using the path at dusk or dawn.
  • If you're cycling in a multi-use pathway, always wear a properly fitted helmet.
