Pathway etiquette: A guide to harmonious coexistence for cyclists, canines and saunterers
via Buckrail
Jackson area officials are promoting trail safety and courtesy guidelines to manage growing congestion between pedestrians, cyclists, and pets. These rules aim to reduce conflicts and maintain order on the shared pathway system.
Friends of Pathways is pushing for better community etiquette on the local trail system as heavy traffic and e-bike speeds lead to increased friction in Jackson. Most complaints center on the Teton Village Road pathway and Russ Garaman Park, particularly during the after-school rush between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. Local police and advocates are encouraging users to slow down, keep dogs on short leashes, and use bells while passing to keep the 70-mile network safe for everyone.
