With weather improving over spring, people using shared paths in Dundee are being urged to show consideration for others as more walkers, wheelers and cyclists take to the network.
The reminder is being issued by a senior councillor, who is encouraging people to get out and make the most of Dundee’s shared paths, which include the 26-mile Green Circular.
Councillor Siobhan Tolland, depute convener of Fair Work, Economic Growth and Infrastructure, said: “Dundee has many shared paths that are a great way of travelling round the city and I hope as many people as possible get out and enjoy them during the coming months.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to remind them to show consideration to other users of these paths.
“This network is a great asset to help improve health and wellbeing and I would like it to remain a safe environment for everyone.”
Top tips for shared paths include:
-
When it’s dark, or in dull conditions, make sure you are visible to others, cyclists should use lights at night.
-
Be particularly careful at junctions, bends, entrances onto the path, or any other ‘blind spots’ where people could appear in front of you without warning.
-
Please be aware, especially of more vulnerable users such as older people, people with small children, people in wheelchairs, or the hearing or visually impaired.
-
When riding a bike, ring a bell well in advance if approaching people from behind, but remember, this might not always be enough to alert people that you’re coming.
