With the beautiful spring weather we are having, the people of the community enjoy walking, which is a wonderful way to exercise.
Do you know the correct side of the road to walk on?
It is recommended to walk facing oncoming traffic on the same side of the road as the oncoming traffic.  Also, you should get as far to the side of the road as possible to provide additional space between you and oncoming cars.
When bicycling, ride on the right side going in the same direction as automobile traffic.
The Hills Crescent is sharing this information at the request of a reader who is concerned about the safety of residents walking on the wrong side of the road.
