Image shows a crossride made of white dashes painted on roadway spanning across the road to connect two multi-use paths. An icon of a person walking and a bike are also painted on the road. Text under image states: “Durham Works, durham.ca/DurhamWorks #DurhamWorks.”

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, for more information about crossrides. To learn more about Durham Vision Zero, visit durham.ca/VisionZero.
