> Keep dogs on a leash and under control at all times and clean up their waste
> Be aware that maintenance vehicles may be on the path
> Cyclists must give way to walkers and joggers, warn others on approach and slow down
> Cyclists need to ride to the conditions at a speed and distance that promotes safety for all and no more than 30 kph at any time and 5 kph at bends and underpasses or in the vicinity of maintenance vehicles or other users
> Wear reflective clothing at night
> If using the path in a group, remain within the marked lane, keep your group size small and allow others to pass comfortably
