SAFETY TIPS & ROUTE NOTES
Arterial Crossings: All major intersections are signalized or have pedestrian beacons—larger intersections include 36th, Harrison Blvd, and 15th Street. Wait for a green signal or walk sign and make eye contact with drivers before crossing.
Bicycling Infrastracture Tips:
Shared Lane Markings or "Sharrows": This route includes streets with shared lane markings or "sharrows". Ride in the center of the lane where sharrows are marked, especially if the lane is too narrow for a bike and car to share side by side. Be visible and predictable.
Use caution at the intersections as visibility can be challenging in some locations with parked cars.
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB): Activate the RRFB by pressing the push button before crossing. Wait for traffic to yield, make sure all lanes are clear, and then cross carefully—stay alert even when drivers are slowing down.
