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.
