trails are located on unimproved public right of way. The City does not maintain
the trails and the footing may be uneven.

SIDEWALKS AND BIKES
Many people consider sidewalks a safe place to ride a bicycle. Unfortunately, sidewalks aren’t all that safe. Trees, parked cars and buildings can create blind spots, pedestrians can step sideways suddenly, a child or animal can run across your path. And cars do use sidewalks — at every cross street and driveway.
Ride slowly on sidewalks — travel about the speed of pedestrians. It is illegal to ride on the sidewalk in downtown Portland.
For ADA Title II or Civil Rights Title VI Accommodations, Translation/Interpretation Services, Complaints, or for additional information, call 503-823-7699, TTY: 503-823-6868, or use Oregon Relay Service: 711.
STREETCAR SAFETY FOR CYCLISTS
Rail tracks require caution and special attention because:
• Bike wheels can get caught in the track• Tracks can be very slippery when wet• Tracks may be slightly raised
Possible solutions:
• Don’t ride between tracks; ride in lanes without tracks.• Always cross tracks as closely to a right angle as possible.• Stay upright: don’t “lean into a turn” while crossing tracks.• Keep a moderate, steady speed — don’t brake on tracks.• Lift out of the saddle slightly, shift your weight to pedals and handlebars.• If you’re uncomfortable riding near tracks, use this map to find alternate routes.

PORTLAND CENTRAL CITY
BIKE/WALK/TRANSIT MAP
Bicycles must be driven like other vehicles if they are to be taken seriously by motorists. Never ride against traffic.
OBEY ALL SIGNS & TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Ride as close as practical to the right. Exceptions: when travelling at the normal speed of traffic, avoiding hazardous conditions, preparing to make a left turn, or using a one-way street.
RIDE CONSISTENTLY
When there’s no bike lane, riding in the center of the travel lane makes you more visible and reduces conflicts with turning vehicles and opening doors. Downtown traffic signals are set at a speed that allows cyclists to keep up with motor vehicles on most streets.
CHOOSE YOUR LANE POSITION DOWNTOWN
Motorists may not see you on their right, so stay out of the driver’s “blind spot.” Be very careful when overtaking cars while in a bike lane; drivers don’t always signal when turning. Also be alert for: car doors opening and cars pulling out from sidestreets or driveways.
USE CAUTION WHEN PASSING
Watch for sewer grates, slippery manhole covers, oily pavement, gravel and ice. Cross railroad tracks at right angles. For better control as you move across bumps and other hazards, stand up on your pedals.
AVOID ROAD HAZARDS
CHOOSE THE BEST WAY TO TURN LEFT
There are two ways to make a left turn: Like an auto: look back, signal, move into the left lane, and turn left. Like a pedestrian: ride straight to the far-side crosswalk, then walk your bike across, or queue up in the traffic lane.
