Cars aren't the only ones who must yield to pedestrians at all times. People on bikes, inline skates and skateboards also must follow this rule, whether you're on a path, trail, street or sidewalk. Yielding means slowing down for pedestrians who are crossing the street and passing them at a safe distance. Show courtesy by giving pedestrians as much room as you would like people on wheels to give you when you're on foot.
Sidewalks are for walking Remember that most sidewalks in Boulder are meant for pedestrians.
People on wheels and people on foot don't mix. That's why bikes, boards and inline skates are not allowed on sidewalks in the Downtown area, the Hill shopping area, and anywhere stores or businesses are nearby. If you're crossing the street at the same time, you must yield, even if it means going slowly behind someone who is walking. Remember that crosswalks are located on all four corners of most intersections in Boulder, whether or not they are marked. There are also crosswalks at the intersections of paths and streets.
