Summit County Open Space and Trails
Summit County Recreation Path Etiquette
The paved recpaths support many different uses. Walkers, joggers, inline skaters and cyclists all share this pathway system. Your courtesy towards other users is important and appreciated!
Expect crowded conditions, especially on weekends.
Be prepared to slow down frequently.
Follow these few common sense tips to help prevent accidents and injuries, and keep the recpaths safe and enjoyable:
- Obey all traffic signs, signals and pavement markings.
- Travel at a reasonable and safe speed, and in no event faster than 25 miles per hour.
- Signal other users before passing them.
- Control dogs by 6-foot leash at all times.
- It is common courtesy, and County law, to remove all pet waste from the
pathway surface and surrounding areas. - To prevent collisions and allow uninterrupted travel, pull off along the
pathway shoulder when stopping. Do not stop on, or obstruct, the pathway. - Travel on the right side of the pathway unless you are passing others. Pass
only when the pathway is clear and unobstructed by other users. - Motorized vehicles are prohibited on the pathway except where posted.
- In the event of an emergency, CALL 911.
