It’s springtime and the outdoors beckons. For some of us that means boating and kayaking. Many of us will be stretching our legs outdoors with longer walks and bicycling our neighborhoods. When you’re driving, bicycling, or walking please watch out for your neighbors. We are a multi-generational community with varying levels of mobility.
Bicycles are to follow vehicle rules while on roadways, and pedestrian right-of-way rules while on pathways. The WA Safe Passing Law states “vehicles passing bicycles or individuals shall allow at least 3 feet of distance.”
The WA Safety Stop law allows cyclists to treat stop signs as yields when no other traffic is approaching and when they have slowed to a reasonable speed.
Use courtesy and common sense when sharing our Shelter Bay roadways. If you witness a potentially unsafe incident, please don’t confront a neighbor you don’t know; notify the office or the Safety Committee.
