Bicycle Safety Week
The East Hants RCMP School Safety Resource Officer was out this week in schools giving bicycle safety talks to students.
With the warmer weather approaching, the Nova Scotia RCMP wants to remind motorists and cyclists that we all have a responsibility to keep our roadways safe for everyone.
Cyclists, here are some helpful tips to keep you safe on the roads:
• Wear a properly fitted helmet. It’s the law and it can reduce the risk of brain injury, the leading type of fatal or disabling injury to cyclists.
• Wear a reflective vest or bright clothing so others can see you
• Have a bell or horn on your bike
• Obey the traffic laws
• Use proper hand signals when turning and stopping
• Be predictable
