2. What sections of trail have lights?

Scull Creek Trail has lighting from North Street to the Fulbright Expressway with additional lighting planned from North Street south to Spring Street. Frisco Trail also has lighting from Spring Street to Prairie Street. In addition, Gulley Park Trail has lighting and lights are being installed along the trail in Wilson Park.

3. What are the rules for the locations where a trail crosses a street? Who has the right of way?

Arkansas state law considers bicycles to be vehicles, so the same laws apply to bicycles as to vehicles. Bicycles must yield to vehicles at all crosswalks, just as if you are a vehicle crossing traffic. Bicycles must stop and look for traffic before proceeding.

Pedestrians have the right of way at the crosswalks, and vehicles should stop for pedestrians by law. To have the right of way, a cyclist should dismount and walk their bicycle through the crosswalk. A short crosswalk safety video is available on our Trails and Greenways webpage.

4. What are some Trail Safety and Etiquette rules?

There are several ways you can be safe on the trails. Some ideas are:
Always wear a helmet when riding a bicycle.
Use bicycle lights and reflectors after dusk and before dawn.
Cyclists should use hand signals to alert others when they intend to turn.
The trail speed limit is 15 m.p.h.
Stay to the right.
Ring a bell or give a clear, verbal warning by saying "passing" to nearby trail users before passing.
"Leave No Trace". Keep trails litter-free by carrying out anything you carry in.
Gas powered motorized vehicles are prohibited on trails. Motorized wheelchairs and electric powered bicycles are permitted.
Keep all pets on a leash within four feet.
Pick up after pet waste.
Do not disturb wildlife.
