Rules for City of Sterling Multi-Use Paths

***Press Release***

Sterling's multi-use trails-especially in Columbine Park, are getting busier all the time.  Our trails are open to walkers, joggers, skaters, and bicyclists of all ages and abilities.  In order to accommodate this wide range of users, we must all observe a few simple rules:

Ride-Skate-Walk On The Right

Ride, skate, or walk with the flow of traffic, as far to the right side of the trail as practical.

Ride-Skate-Walk Single File

Don't block the trail.  Groups should be in single file when other trail users are present and should never use more than one-half of the trial to allow for flow of traffic.

Control Your Speed!

Obey speed regulations.  Slow down and use caution when approaching or overtaking other trail users.  The trail is not a racetrack!

Who Yields The Trail?

Before passing another trail user, be courteous and make your approach known well in advance.  A friendly greeting "hello, passing on your left" works best

Ride-Skate-Walk Single File

  • Bicyclists and skaters yield to walkers
  • Bicyclists yield to skaters
  • Faster users yield to slower users
Remember:
  • Respect all other users
  • Always rider or skate within your abilities
  • Always wear proper safety equipment
To report abuse, please call 522-3512 or 522-9700
