Cycling Resources
SAFE (Streets Are For Everyone) Summerside Alliance Ltd. is a volunteer non-profit organization that promotes progressive, innovative Active Transportation policies. SAFE is committed to creating safe and accessible streets for all active transportation users within the City of Summerside and surrounding areas. SAFE will collaborate with local municipal governments, businesses, and community members to develop strategies to reduce the barriers to active transportation while advocating for specific safe routes/pathways in Summerside and Area.
This handbook will teach you about your bicycle, provincial traffic laws and safe cycling habits. When riding your bike, always remember to use your best judgement, take your time, and to have fun!
Knowing how cyclists, pedestrians and drivers can “share the road” helps provide safe and enjoyable trips for everyone. The Highway Traffic Act establishes the rules of the road for cycling. The legislation considers a bicycle a vehicle just like a car, truck or tractor.
