Keeping our community safe takes all of us working together whether you’re walking, running, biking, or driving.

Here are a few important reminders:

👟 Pedestrians 

•If a sidewalk is available, please use it. Walking or running in the roadway when a sidewalk is present is unsafe and unlawful under NC State Statute § 20-174.

•If no sidewalk is available, walk on the far-left side of the road or shoulder, facing oncoming traffic, and yield to vehicles.

🚴 Cyclists

•Please use designated bike lanes provided to help maintain a safe and predictable flow of traffic. 

•Town Ordinance § 72.08 prohibits bicycles from riding upon any sidewalk or walkway within the town.

🚗 Drivers

•Stay alert and be mindful of pedestrians and cyclists at all times.

•NC State Statute § 20-173 requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in marked or unmarked crosswalks at intersections. 

These guidelines are in place to protect everyone, walkers, joggers, runners, cyclists, and drivers alike. A small adjustment in where you travel can make a big difference in preventing accidents and keeping our community safe.

Let’s all do our part.
