So that everyone can enjoy the trail safely, here are a few guidelines for
trail users:
|
- Stay to the right.
- Bicyclists should yield to walkers.
- To avoid conflicts with other users, pass to the left, announcing,
"Passing on your left" before you overtake slower moving traffic.
- Please avoid stopping and blocking the path. Step off to the side if you
wish to talk or stop for any other reason.
- Leash all pets. "Curb" your dogs.
- Please dispose of all trash properly. This is your trail. Keep it clean.
- Poison ivy and poison oak are common along many Illinois trails. Avoid
contact with plants unless you’re certain of their species.
- Finally, bicyclists should wear a helmet. Three out of four
bicyclist fatalities are due to head injuries--most of which could have been
avoided if the bicyclist had been wearing a helmet. In-line skaters should
also wear safety equipment.
