Usually established on streets with lots of trafc. Special pavement markings and signs identify the lanes. travel lane parking travel lane parking bike lane bike lane Cars and bicycles share the lane. Many bike routes have signs showing the direction and distance to destinations (e.g. the Loop, the lakefront). Bike routes are usually on streets that aren’t wide enough for bike lanes but are good streets for biking. shared lane shared lane parking parking Paved paths separated from the road for bicyclists, walkers, runners, and in-line skaters (such as the Lakefront Trail). Multi-use Trails PEDESTRIAN/RUNNER SKATER/BICYCLIST Cars and bicycles share the street. Usually established on streets with lots of traffic that are too narrow for bike lanes. Special pavement markings direct bicyclists to ride outside the "Door Zone" (see "Door Zone" panel). Markings and signs also encourage cars to share the lane with bicyclists. Bike Routes Marked Shared Lanes parking parking shared travel lane shared travel lane Types of Bikeways Keep to the right. Yield to pedestrians and slower moving traffic except when passing. Slow down when there are lots of users on the trail. Be careful at crossings. Look both ways. Cyclists: yield to through traffic at intersections. Remember, pedestrians have the right of way. Pedestrians: exercise caution. Be aware that cyclists and skaters require lots of room to stop. Advise others when passing. Sound your bell or horn or call out when approaching pedestrians or slower cyclists. Then pass safely on the left.  “Passing on your left.” YES NO Use your path. Don’t bike on designated walking or running paths. Sharing the Trail Off-street Biking LEFT RIGHT STOP Never use earphones because you won’t be able to hear what’s going on around you. Using earphones is not only dangerous, it’s illegal. See. Be seen. Be heard. Use lights at night or when visibility is poor. A white headlight and rear red refector or taillight are required by state law (IC 9-21-11-9). Flashing lights are especially effective. Use bike reflectors, refective clothing and a bell. Confirm your presence with motorists Eye contact is good, a wave is even better. If you are unsure if a motorist sees you, use extra caution before proceeding. Street-Smart Cyclist Communicate and Avoid Injury Use hand signals so that drivers know where you’re going. Signal all your turns and stops ahead of time. Also, before turning, look over your shoulder for any traffc. Check and only move when it’s safe. State Law (IC 9-21-11-2) requires cyclists to obey all the same traffic laws as motorists. This means obeying all the same traffic laws as motorists, like stop signs and stop lights, and yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks. Always wear a bicycle helmet to reduce the risk of permanent injury or death from a crash. To make sure your helmet fits correctly, put it on and use the “eyes,ears,mouth” test. Eyes: When you look up, you should see the front rim. If not, your helmet won’t protect your forehead. Ears: The side straps should come to a “V” just below each ear. Mouth: When you open your mouth wide, you should feel the helmet push down on your head. If your helmet doesn't pass the test, adjust its buckles. GENERAL SAFETY ADVICE Always wear a personal floatation device (PFD) Be prepared for changing weather conditions Keep spare clothing in a sealed bag Bring adequate food and water. Water is not available at most access sites. Don’t overload your canoe Know your abilities and physical limitations Leave a trip plan with friends/family Water Safety Tips RIVER COURTESY All other dikes and shorelines are privately owned and should not be accessed unless in an emergency Don’t leave litter. Be a river steward and clean up litter Respect the rights of anglers and hunters Always be courteous REGIONAL HIKING, BIKING & WATER TRAILS www.nirpc.org 2012 EDITION Calumet Trail 9-miles; limestone; Porter to Michigan City Calumet Sag Trail 30 miles; asphalt; Lemont to Burnham (IL) C&O Greenway 11 miles; asphalt; Griffith to Winfield Dunes-Kankakee Trail 30 miles; asphalt; Dunes State Park to Kankakee River Erie-Lackawanna Trail 17 miles; asphalt; Hammond to Crown Point Lincoln Memorial Trail 10 miles; asphalt; Michigan City to Westville Little Calumet River Levee Trail 11 miles; limestone; Munster to Gary Oak-Savannah Trail 9 miles; asphalt; Griffith to Hobart Pennsy Greenway 15 miles; asphalt; Lansing, IL to Crown Point Prairie-Duneland Trail 11 miles; asphalt; Portage to Chesterton Veterans Memorial Trail 9 miles; asphalt & equestrian; Crown Point to Hebron American Discovery Trail Coast-to-Coast; road & trail; discoverytrail.org Grand Illinois Trail 450 miles; road & trail; Northern Illinois Marquette Greenway 50 miles; asphalt; Chicago, IL to New Buffalo, MI Please refer to the map for segments open, funded or proposed Regional Trails Visionary Trails Get to Know Your Trails Recommended Bike Routes Excellent Medium Best Available, use caution Trails Paved Trail Unpaved Trail Planned Trail Trail Under Development, Paved Trail Under Development, Unpaved Trailhead Parking Bike Shops Train Stations Railroads Waterbodies Airport Parks and Recreational Areas County Boundaries Beyond the Beach Site Boat Launch (with parking) Walking Trail American Discovery Trail, Proposed Bike Lane Á Water Trail Places ( l I i A wealth of cultural treasures await you along the “beyond the Beach Discovery Trail.” Obtain your copy of the trail guide by visiting www.BeyondTheBeachDiscoveryTraill.com 1 2 3 Mountain Biking Locations Outback Trail @ Imagination Glenn Park ‐ Portage www.outbacktrail.org Bluhm County Park ‐ LaPorte County Soldiers Memorial Park Trail‐ LaPorte Keep up on the latest Greenways and Blueways Information NW Indiana Greenways & Blueways @gwaysbways 0 1 0.5 Miles Prepared by NORTHWESTERN INDIANA REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION Portage, IN Alert the bus operator Lower the rack by squeezing the center handle.

    Keep to the right.Yield to pedestrians and slower moving tra�c except when passing. Slow down when there are lots of users on the trail.

    Be careful at crossings. Look both ways. Cyclists: yield to through tra�c at intersections. Remember, pedestrians have the right of way. Pedestrians: exercise caution. Be aware that cyclists and skaters require lots of room to stop.

    Advise others when passing.Sound your bell or horn or call out when approaching pedestrians or slower cyclists. Then pass safely on the left.

    Cars and bicycles share the lane.Many bike routes have signs showing the direction and distance to destinations (e.g. the Loop, the lakefront).Bike routes are usually on streets that aren’t wide enough for bike lanes but are good streets for biking.

    shared laneshared laneparking parking

    Paved paths separated from the road for bicyclists, walkers, runners, and in-line skaters (such as the Lakefront Trail).

    Most bike thefts are due to unlocked or improperly locked bikes. Following these tips will help prevent your bike from being stolen.

    Never leave your bike unlocked–not even for a second.

    Always use a high-quality U-lock or chain. For added security, use both.

    Always lock the frame and front wheel to either a rack or pole (see illustration 1).

    For extra security, remove the front wheel and lock it with the frame and rear wheel (see illustration 2).

    Note Some bike locks with cylindrical keys may be opened with a pen or similiar object. Check with your local bike shop to determine the need to upgrade or replace your lock.

    Ride in a straight line. Avoid weaving between parked cars. Ride in a straight line at least 4 feet away from parked cars to avoid the door zone(see below).

    Obey all tra�c regulations.Riding predictably and following the law are the keys to safe bicycling. Knowing and following the rules help all road usersproperly anticipate and react to each other.

    Don’t ride on the sidewalk. Motorists are not looking for cyclists to be riding on sidewalks and are often surprised by them at driveways and intersections. If you must ride on the sidewalk, ride at walking pace and stop or yield at every intersection.

    When necessary, use entire travel lane Move toward the center when the lane is too narrow for motorists to pass safely or when you’re moving at the same speed as tra�c.

    To cross an intersection, use the lane farthest to the right that points to where you are going. Follow lane markings to cross an intersection. If you can’t change lanes to turn left, ride across the street to the other side and align your bike with tra�c. Then, proceed with your signal.

    Never ride against tra�c. Riding against tra�cis dangerous and illegal. Motorists and pedestrians are not looking for cyclists riding the wrong waydown a street.

    Theft Prevention

    Types of Bikeways

    LEFT RIGHT STOP

    Never use earphones because you won’t be able to hear what’s going on around you. Using earphones is not only dangerous, it’s illegal.

    See. Be seen. Be heard.

    Use lights at night or when visibility is poor. A white headlight and rear red refector or taillight are required by state law (IC 9-21-11-9). Flashing lights are especially e�ective.

    Use bike re�ectors, refective clothing and a bell.

    Con�rm your presence with motorists Eye contact is good, a wave is even better. If you are unsure if a motorist sees you, use extra caution before proceeding.

    Street-Smart CyclistCommunicate and Avoid Injury

    Use hand signals so that drivers know where you’re going. Signal all your turns and stops ahead of time. Also, before turning, look over your shoulder for any tra�c. Check and only move when it’s safe.

    State Law (IC 9-21-11-2) requires cyclists to obey all the same tra�c laws as motorists. This means obeying all the same tra�c laws as motorists, like stop signs and stop lights, and yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks.

    Always wear a bicycle helmet to reduce the risk of permanent injury or death from a crash.

    To make sure your helmet �ts correctly, put it on and use the“eyes,ears,mouth” test. Eyes: When you look up, you should see the front rim. If not, your helmet won’t protect your forehead. Ears: The side straps should come to a “V” just below each ear. Mouth: When you open your mouth wide, you should feel the helmet push down on your head. If your helmet doesn't pass the test, adjust its buckles.

    GENERAL SAFETY ADVICE

    Always wear a personal �oatation device (PFD)

    Be prepared for changing weather conditions

    Keep spare clothing in a sealed bag

    Bring adequate food and water. Water is not available at most access sites.

    Don’t overload your canoe

    Know your abilities and physical limitations

    Leave a trip plan with friends/family

    Water Safety TipsRIVER COURTESY
