With the weather finally starting to cool off, it's a great opportunity to get some much needed fresh air! If you're going on a walk, use sidewalks whenever possible. If not, face traffic and stay as far as you can from it to ensure your safety. 🧵

When bicycling, clearly signal which direction you’re turning or changing lanes for those around you! 🧵

[Watch For Me OK @watch4meok]

Left Turn: To make a left turn, extend your left arm out horizontally, parallel to the ground.

Right Turn: When you're planning a right turn, lift your left arm and bend it at the elbow, so your forearm is pointing upward.

Pro Tip: Be sure to park scooters safely, away from curbs, and in a place that will not block a person with disabilities from using the sidewalk.

TRUE OR FALSE?
Bicycles might have to obey the same traffic laws as cars, but scooters are allowed to be used in whatever way suits the rider. 🧵

[Watch For Me OK @watch4meok]

FALSE! Whether electric or analog, scooters are also subject to regular traffic laws including stoplights, stop signs, and traffic signs. On a scooter, you must always yield to pedestrians.

When driving on the road, be mindful of our local bicyclists! 🧵

[Watch For Me OK @watch4meok]

When behind a bicyclist, maintain at least 1 car-length of distance to keep everyone safe. If you have another lane available, change lanes to pass the bicyclist and always give 3ft.
