Sideline Runners

Rules of the Road

Don't assume a driver sees you. In fact, imagine that a driver can't see you.

Run against traffic so as to view (and react to) any mistakes an advancing motorist can make.

At a stop sign or light, wait for the driver to wave you through - then acknowledge with your own wave.

Allow at least three feet between you and a passing vehicle.

Be prepared to jump onto the sidewalk or should of the road.

During group runs, go single file when cars need to pass.

Use hand signals to show which way you plan to turn.

Respect the drivers' right to the road.

Run with proper ID anc carry a cell phone with emergency contacts taped to its back.

Check with the police for local traffic rules.
