TRAIL COURTESY
The Old Ghost Road is a shared trail for the use and enjoyment of a range of users. No one user group has exclusive use and rights and it has been designed from its inception with this in mind. Trail etiquette is founded on respect (of each other) and first and foremost requires that:
Users respect each other and take the lead on courtesy and giving way – don’t expect or wait for someone else to and please try and help make others’ experience an enjoyable one. If you are safely and easily able to move aside for someone else, please do so (irrespective of whether you are on foot or bike) and consider topping it off with a smile and a ‘hello’!
The Old Ghost Road trail etiquette also requires that:
Users respect the rules (e.g. be prepared, plan for the unexpected, obey safety requirements and warnings); and
Users respect the trail (i.e. don’t skid, cut corners or make new lines, stay in control, maintain safe speeds, and clean your bike and equipment/footwear to prevent spreading weeds and didymo).
