Bike Safety Program 

City of Steinbach streets should be safe for all bicyclists and motorists.  In order to co-exist safely, mutual respect and understanding is needed between cyclists and motorists, as they share the same rights and responsibilities on public streets. 

When biking on shared pedestrian pathways, please use a bell or otherwise signal when nearing or passing others from behind. 

The City of Steinbach has three types of bicycle signage, as part of its “Active Transportation Route” program: 

1. “Share the Road” yellow signs along McKenzie Avenue and Loewen Boulevard - this signage alerts motorists to the presence of bicyclists and encourages cooperative behaviour. 
2. Sharrow symbols painted on streets - this is a road lane marking that shows a stencil of a bicycle with two chevron markings above it, indicating the direction in which bicycle traffic should ride.
3. Designated bike lane symbol painted on Hespeler Street N. - this decal indicates a designated lane for bicycles.
