Rail Riders

SAFETY GUIDE LINES FOR RAILRIDING
Railriding will prove to be one of the safest sports you can do if you follow a few simple guide lines.

1. Never ride on any track without getting permission of the owner. Abandoned or "only used very little" is not a reason to be on any track. It is against the law and you could get hurt.
2. When Railriding on any tracks - respect wildlife, no littering and no smoking. Smoky The Bear will appreciate it.
3. Railriders must not exceed 10 mph. Problems and obstructions on the track can be hazardous to your safety. You are there to enjoy the scenery, not to set speed records.
4. Stop at all crossings. Autos have the right of way and you don't stand a chance if you're hit by one. See picture below.
5. Safety flags must be used at all highway crossings. A person from the lead railrider will dismount and flag all following members in the group across the roads and then rejoin the lead railrider. See picture below.
6. Lights must be used in front and back if riding at night.
7. Position flag must be present at all times fixed to the Railrider. This is either a regular type street bike flag that flies a few feet above the rider, or like the picture below, a larger one.
8. All Railriders must have brakes.
9. No alcohol allowed on the Railriders or used anywhere on the ride.
