Neighborhood Parks

Neighborhood Parks are developed recreation areas owned
and maintained as public parks by the City. Neighborhood Parks
are deliberately close to residential areas so that they are easily accessed by walking or biking. Neighborhood Parks have
limited automobile parking, no lighted athletic fields for team
competition, and no schedule for organized programs. There
may be basketball standards, a tennis court, or a volleyball court
with associated lighting within the park. Neighborhood Parks
generally range from 4-10 acres.
Community Parks

Community Parks are parks owned and maintained by the
City that generally range in size from 10-50 acres. Community
Parks serve several neighborhoods and can accommodate special events and gatherings. Community Parks provide the same
amenities and elements found at a Neighborhood Park but
they may also include sport fields for competitive play, group
shelters, nature centers, swimming pools, recreation centers,
skate parks, tennis complexes, or other opportunities for recreation activity that involve larger groups, competitions, and
community gatherings.

Hand signals Cyclists must use hand signals to alert motorists

when turning or stopping. See illustration in adjacent column.

l In some instances where an off-roadway bike path has been

provided, you may be directed by an official traffic control device
to use the path rather than the roadway.

Be Consistent Be predictable by walking, skating, or biking

in as straight a course as possible. This will prevent accidental
collisions and make passing slower trail users safer.
Be Alert Always watch for turning vehicles. Be cautious when
approaching other trail users. Walk, ride, and skate defensively.
Trail Courtesy Pedestrians yield to horses. Cyclists and skaters
yield to horses and pedestrians.

Dress Appropriately Wear clothes in layers to adjust to temperature changes. Bright clothes increase visibility. Be prepared
for heat, rain and wind as the season dictates.

* The entire trail is outside the St. George City limits.

** Plus 4.5 miles outside St. George City limits. 7.6 miles total.

Park Locations & Facilities

l Ride no more than two abreast and then only if you would not
impede traffic.

Floodplains Many trails are located in floodplains. This means

they are subject to periodic flooding. Always use caution when
on trails during local or distant rainstorms.

Turning right

Speed Limits Do not exceed posted speed limits. Always stay

in control by letting the terrain, surfacing, trail width, your experience, and other factors dictate your speed.
Lock Your Bike Never leave your bike unattended. Lock bikes
to racks provided and be sure to lock not only the frame, but the
front and rear wheels.

Turning right

Plan Ahead Know where you are going. Tell someone where
you plan to be and what time to expect you back. Know your
equipment, your ability, the weather, and the area.

l To make a left turn, you have two options as a bicyclist:

l Use the left turn lane or two-way left turn lane in the same
manner required of motor vehicles; or
l Stay on the right side of the roadway, ride through the intersecting roadway to the far corner and stop. After it is safe and
legal to do so, cross going in the new direction, continuing to
travel on the right side of the roadway.
l Always signal your intention to turn right or left, change lanes,
or stop at least three seconds before doing so. You do not have
to maintain a continuous signal if you need your hand to control
the bike. Once stopped in a designated turn lane you are not
required to signal again before turning.
l The acceptable hand signals are: (See hand signals diagram)
l Left turn left hand and arm extended horizontally;
l Right turn left hand and arm extended upward or right
hand and arm extended horizontally; and
l Stop or decrease speed left hand and arm extended
downward.
l Always yield to pedestrians and give an audible signal when
overtaking them.
l Use care and safe speeds to avoid collisions. Never ride where
bicycles are prohibited. Never carry more people on your bike
than it was designed and equipped to handle; though, as an
adult, you may carry a child securely attached to you in a back
pack or sling. Never race bicycles on the highway except in events
approved by state or local authorities.
l Do not carry any package, bundle, or article that prevents using both hands to control your bike. You must have at least one
hand on the handlebars at all times.
l You are required to have a white headlight, red taillight or reflector, and side reflectors, all visible for at least 500 feet any time
you ride earlier than a half hour before sunrise or later than a half
hour after sunset.
l Your bicycle must be equipped with brakes.

l Ride in the same direction as traffic.

Signs Obey all traffic signs. Bicycles must follow the same rules
of the road as vehicles.

Pass With Care Cyclists and skaters should give an audible

warning whenever passing. Always pass on the left. Do not pass
when center line is solid.

l 7.9

l Your bicycle is considered a vehicle and you have the same

rights and are subject to the same provisions as the operator of
any other vehicle. This includes obeying traffic signals, stop and
yield signs, and all other official traffic control devices.
l Ride as far to the right as practicable except when: passing
another bike or vehicle; preparing to turn left; going straight
through an intersection past a right-turn-only lane; avoiding unsafe conditions on the right-hand edge of the roadway.

Bike/Pedestrian Bridges Always use caution when crossing

trail bridges. Their uneven surfaces and lack of shoulders may
make them difficult to negotiate. Never cross a bridge when
flood conditions exist.

Thank you for picking
up a copy of The City of St.
George Urban Trails Map.
This map and guide was created with you in mind, to
ensure a safe, efficient and
exciting commute on our
urban trail system. The City
of St. George was one of the
first communities in the state
to create urban trails that
connect urban centers with
neighborhoods, parks and
rural areas within the city. We
firmly believe that our urban
trail system has a direct influence on and adds to the quality of
life that we have come to expect in Southern Utah.

As you travel along the trails, be sure to obey all posted
rules and traffic laws and please be courteous to other trail users
along the way. If you see vandalism or graffiti on or near a trail
please report it to the St. George Police Department by calling
627-4301. We need your help in order to keep all trails pristine
for those who come to use them. Whether you use the trail system as part of your daily commute to and from work or simply
like to use them for a leisurely weekend bike ride with family, we
hope you make the most of this guide and use the trail system
frequently. See you on the trail!
