Speed bumps before trail crossings help protect walkers and cyclists by forcing drivers to reduce speed and pay attention. Cities should add bumps 10–15 m before trail entries, along with clear painted lines, bright signs, and raised crosswalks.
Drivers:
- Slow to 30km/h near trails
- Watch for bikes and pedestrians
- Yield at all marked crossings
Cities:
- Install speed bumps
- Use high-contrast paint and signs
- Add lights and warning signals
Safe design and careful driving make our trails safer for everyone.
