Beltline Courtesy & Etiquette

Walking traffic should always stay to the right side of the trail.

This keeps the center lane open for wheels and passing.

Think of it like a sidewalk: the **man walks on the “street side”**, which on the Beltline means the **middle lane**.

Bikes, skaters, scooters, and boards should use the **center lane** to pass.

Call out “On your left!” when passing.

Slow down around crowds, kids, dogs, and strollers.

The Beltline works because everyone moves with awareness.

Don’t block the trail. Don’t stop in the middle. Step aside if you need to pause.

We’re all here to enjoy the same space.

Stay aware of your surroundings.

Stick to well‑lit areas.

Move with a group when possible.

Know your nearest emergency pole number.

Trust your instincts — if something feels off, move away.

Say excuse me. Smile. Share the space.

Don’t blast music without headphones.

Don’t film people without permission.

We’re all out here to have a good time.

Keep dogs close and leashed.

Kids should stay to the right with adults.

Large groups should walk single‑file when crowded.

Walk right. Pass center. Stop left or off‑trail.

Signal with your voice when passing.

Keep your pace consistent.

Don’t block the trail.

Don’t weave unpredictably.

Don’t stop in the center lane.

Don’t ride aggressively or recklessly.

Know your nearest pole number.

Call 911 for emergencies.

Use the Marker System to identify your location.
