Be a PAL
No matter where you’re going or which mode you choose to get there, what matters most is getting there safely. We are safest when everyone does their part to follow the rules of the road by being a PAL (Predictable, Alert, and Lawful).
Predictable
Ride predictably so others can see you and anticipate your movements. Use hand signals to indicate turns.
Alert
Scan the route ahead for traffic, people opening car doors, people walking, and obstacles on the road.
Lawful
Obey all traffic signals, signs, and lane markings.
