| STAY RIGHT, PASS LEFT
Walk or ride on the right side of the Canal trail unless passing and don’t block the trail in large groups. | |

| REDUCE YOUR SPEED & STAY ALERT
Please reduce bicycle speeds in high pedestrian and equestrian areas and always observe trail speed limits (commonly 15 mph). | |

| ALERT OTHERS BEFORE PASSING
Make your presence known. Use an audible ‘on your left’ or bike bell when passing other trail users. When passing equestrian users on trail, voice signaling is preferred as to not startle the horse. | |

| RESPECT OTHER USERS, YIELD TO OTHER USERS
When in doubt, give others the right of way and remember, bike riders yield to equestrians and pedestrians. | |

| ALL USERS YIELD TO EQUESTRIANS
Avoid using bells to alert equestrians. If you are approaching horseback riders, use your voice to let them know you would like to pass. | |

| KEEP PETS CLOSE & ON LEASH
Keep pets on a short leash for their safety and for the safety of others. |
