For Your Safety - Rules of the Road

FOLLOW THE LAW
Your safety and the safety of other bicyclists depend on you. You have the same rights and duties as drivers. Obey traffic signals and stop signs UNLESS a Jefferson Parish police officer is directing you otherwise. Ride with traffic and use the rightmost lane headed in the direction you are going.

BE PREDICTABLE
Make your intentions clear to motorists and other road users. Ride in a straight line. Signal turns and check behind you well before turning or changing lanes.

BE COURTEOUS
If you need to stop, especially on the levee trail, please move as far off the trail as possible. If you are riding side by side, please allow others to pass.

THINK AHEAD
Anticipate what drivers, pedestrians and other bicyclists will do next. Watch for turning vehicles and ride outside the door zone of parked cars. Look out for debris, potholes and utility covers. Cross railroad tracks at right angles.
