Crossrides make bicycle crossings safer for everyone

As part of Durham Vision Zero, Durham Region is making bicycle crossings easier and safer for cyclists, drivers and pedestrians by installing crossrides along multi-use path routes at intersections throughout the region.

A crossride is a dedicated space at an intersection where cyclists can legally ride their bicycle through the intersection without dismounting. Crossrides are identified by unique pavement markings and may be located beside a pedestrian crosswalk or on its own. Crossrides can also be combined with a crosswalk to save space, which is called a mixed crossride.

Watch our video, available on the Region’s YouTube channel, to learn more about using crossrides. To learn more about Durham Vision Zero, visit durham.ca/VisionZero.
