For Pedestrians

• Only cross streetcar tracks at designated crosswalks, always wait for the appropriate signals, and always look both ways before crossing the tracks.
• Never cross or run in front of an approaching streetcar, and avoid entering the trackway from between two parked vehicles.
• Take a break from your electronic devices. Remove your headphones so you can hear the streetcar’s warning bells, and don’t walk and text when crossing streetcar routes.

For Cyclists

• Always cross tracks as upright and as close to a 90-degree angle as possible, and avoid riding your bike between the tracks, as it can be difficult to maneuver in such a tight space.
• When turning left across the tracks, do so in two stages. First, ride in the right lane through the intersection. Then, pivot to the left to cross the tracks perpendicularly with the next green traffic signal.
• Tracks can become slippery when wet and smaller tires can potentially get caught in streetcar tracks, so always exercise caution when near the tracks.
• While much of the route includes clearly marked bike lanes, for less comfortable cyclists an alternative route is typically only a block away.

For Motorcyclists

Motorcyclists should be familiar with all of the tips above for both motorists and bicyclists, as much of the same information applies, but there are a few additional helpful tips for riding along the route:

• When riding parallel to the tracks, avoid riding on the rails except when crossing them. Rails can be slick, especially in inclement weather, so it’s best to ride next to them or between them rather than on them.
• When changing lanes or turning across rails that are running parallel to you, start by moving away from the rail as far as possible while remaining in your lane. Then reduce your speed and cross the rail at as large of an angle as possible (the closer to 90 degrees the better, and never less than 45 degrees). Keep in mind that the entire bike should be at a large angle relative to the rail – not just the front tire.
