Share the Road
Same Roads – Same Rules – Same Rights
Share the Road is a public safety campaign to increase motorists’ and bicyclists’ awareness of shared
responsibility for road safety. The main features of this campaign are caution signs along County roads.
These signs are to act as a reminder for drivers to be aware of other road users – bicyclists and walkers
and to use caution when approaching them.
Bicycles are vehicles under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act and have a right to be on the road. Drivers must give 1-metre of space when passing someone on a bicycle.
Motorist, bicyclists and walkers all have to follow the rules of the road.
