Safe sidewalks and shared-use paths are designed and managed to reduce the risk of injury to pedestrians and other users of the facility. This means safe facilities are constructed and maintained to provide a safe environment for all ages and skill levels.

When riding on a shared path, the road rules require bicycle riders to:

• Keep to the left (unless it is impractical to do so)
• Give way to pedestrians including wheeled recreational devices/toys. You should always slow down, stopping if necessary to avoid a collision.
• Keep to the left of any oncoming bicycle rider.

Shared use paths are facilities on exclusive right-of-way and with mini-mal cross flow by motor vehicles. Shared use paths are sometimes referred to as trails; however, in many states the term trail means an un-improved recreational facility. Care should be taken in using these terms interchangeably.

paths should be designed to accommodate high-speed users in both directions. The tread of a shared-use path should be at least 3.05 m (10 ft) wide. A minimum of 2.44 m (8 ft) may be used on shared-use paths that will have limited use.

Face Traffic If there is no sidewalk where you’re walking, walk on the side of the road where you’ll be facing oncoming traffic. That means that if cars drive on the right side of the road, as they do in North America, you should walk on the left.

there are no rules about which side of the track to use but cyclists generally keep to the left. be aware of pedestrians and other road users who may need to cross the track.

Shared use paths There are no lanes marked on the path and nobody has the right of way, so all users are equally responsible for their actions. As a cyclist it’s important that you keep your speed down and watch out for others.

Shared Path. A shared path or shared use path is a pathway designed for the use of both pedestrians & cyclists.

Shared Use along with “joint use” and “community use,” are terms that describe what happens when government entities (or sometimes private, nonprofit organizations) agree to open or broaden access to their property or facilities to benefit the larger community.

Shared use — also called joint use, community use, or open use — occurs when government entities or other organizations agree to open their facilities for use by the broader community.

Shared use paths are paved facilities physically separated from motorized vehicular traffic by an open space or barrier and are either within the highway right of way or an independent right of way. Shared use paths are used by bicyclists, pedestrians, skaters, runners and others.

According to the Pedestrian Council of Australia, the old road code, discarded when new, nation-wide rules were adopted in 1999, advised pedestrians to walk on the left. Quite why many “foreigners” should drive, and therefore walk, on the left remains a mystery, given that most people in the world are right-handed.

Shared use paths are facilities on exclusive right-of-way and with mini-mal cross flow by motor vehicles. Shared use paths are sometimes referred to as trails; however, in many states the term trail means an un-improved recreational facility.

They are more likely to have symptoms other than chest pain, such as: 1 Fatigue 2 Shortness of breath 3 General weakness 4 Change in skin color or greyish pallor (episodes of change in skin color associated with weakness)

Design Speed. Shared use paths should be designed for a selected speed that is at least as high as the preferred speed of the faster bicyclists. In general, a minimum design speed of 30 km/h (20 mph) should be used. Although bicyclists can travel faster than this, to do so would be inappropriate in a mixed-use setting.

A fast or uneven heartbeat can also be the sign of an arrhythmia. This is a problem with your heart rate or rhythm. If you have any signs of heart disease, call your health care provider right away.
