Please be careful while cycling. Sharing the road with pedestrians, other cyclists and vehicles is essential. For everyone’s safety, let’s do our part for all road users.

Safety instructions

Be visible and predictable, day or night

  • Signal your intentions before stopping, passing or turning. Know your signals! Use your left arm before making a left turn or when stopping. Use your right arm before making a right turn.
  • Do you ride in the evening? Make sure you have proper visibility lights on your bicycle (white light at the front and red light at the back).

Be courteous; respect everyone on the road

  • When overtaking someone, use the left lane and keep a distance of two metres.
  • Pay attention to others.

Respect the Highway Safety Code

  • Ride in the direction of traffic.
  • Adapt your speed when riding in an area shared with pedestrians or vehicles.
  • Obey traffic signs and rules: stop at red lights and at stop signs.
