“Recreational Greenway and Trail Etiquette” Poplar Bluff Parks and Recreation promotes sharing the greenway, paved and natural trails with other users so that everyone can equally enjoy their experience. Greenway and trail etiquette is a tool to help inform other users of the courteous ways to interact on recreational trails. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: • Poplar Bluff Parks and Recreation trails are open from sunrise to sunset. • Ticks, chiggers, and mosquitoes are common April through October. Be prepared with insect repellant. • Know your physical capabilities when choosing a trail. • Always carry water to ensure you stay hydrated. • Watch the weather and dress appropriately. • If available, read the information on the trailhead signs and maps to become oriented and aware of the trail terrain, length, and special features. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR ALL USERS: • Be courteous of all other users regardless of their sport, speed or skill level. Obey traffic rules and signs. Stay to the right and pass on the left when safe and appropriate. Give an audible warning before passing. When stopping, move off of the trail. Travel at a safe and reasonable speed. Faster users yield the right of way to slower users. Users should be single file when in groups and approaching other users. Stay on the trail to protect the vegetation. Removal of plants, animals, rocks, downed timber, artifacts or relics is prohibited. • All pets must be kept on a leash for their protection and that of other users and wildlife. Please pick up after your pet. Bags are provided for waste removal, please deposit bags in trash receptacles. Enjoy and respect wildlife and landscape; do not disturb. Take only pictures, and leave only footprints. • Vandalism and theft of trail amenities will result in prosecution. Report crime and maintenance problems to Poplar Bluff Parks and Recreation, 686-8645. Reckless behavior that endangers other trail users is prohibited. Carry out what you carry in. If the trail users before you have not done this, you can help by removing their trash too. • No power-driven mobility devices, except ADA on paved trails. No power-driven devices on natural trails. “Pedestrian Safety” A pedestrian is a person traveling on foot, whether walking or running. People riding skateboards, roller skates, as well as people in wheelchairs are pedestrians also. • Only cross at designated crosswalks. When crossing a street look left, right, and then left again before crossing. Then continue looking as you cross. Walk on sidewalks or paths and cross at street corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible. • Make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street. Be aware of drivers even when you’re in a crosswalk; vehicles have blind spots. If your view is blocked, move to a place where you can see oncoming traffic. Never rely on a car to stop. • Children under 10 need to cross the street with an adult. Every child is different, but developmentally, most kids are unable to judge the speed and distance of oncoming cars until age 10. • Be on the alert for cars that are turning or backing up. Do not run or dart out into the street or cross between parked cars. If walking after dark, wear light or brightly colored clothing and reflective gear, and carry a flashlight. Do not use phones, headphones, and devices when crossing the street. Stay alert and watch out. Your eyes and ears are your best tools for keeping safe. Use caution when crossing driveways and alley entrances. Drivers may not expect you to be there or see you. Be aware of your surroundings. Know who is in front of you and who is behind you. Stay on well lit, populated streets. You should not use dark streets or alleyways while walking, especially at night. If you were to get into trouble nobody would be around to help you. • Do not talk to strangers. If a stranger tries to talk to you, walk or run away. Do not approach a vehicle that stops to talk to you. You can be grabbed and pulled into a vehicle. Use the buddy system. If you need to walk somewhere have someone walk with you. Carry a cell phone. If you feel scared or threatened call 911. If someone tries to grab you SCREAM and FIGHT as hard as you can to get away.
