Whether you cycle, drive, or walk, road safety is a priority for everyone.
When riding at night, cyclists must ensure that their bicycle is equipped with appropriate front and rear lights and reflectors. Cyclists should also consider wearing light-colored apparel or a reflective band which can be easily seen from a distance.
Cyclists are required to obey traffic lights and stop at marked intersections. This is in line with all road users, as defined in the Traffic & Vehicle Safety Policy, and helps cyclists to avoid putting themselves and others at significant risk
In addition to investing in safety equipment (helmet/lights) for your bicycle, you should also consider a bicycle lock. This small investment may assist you in avoiding the inconvenience of locating a missing bicycle, which for many residents is their primary mode of transportation.
