Duck Trail
DUCK TRAIL
The Duck Trail was constructed and paid for by the property owners of Duck. It serves as a wonderful source of recreation for Duck residents and visitors and, its paramount purpose is safety -- to provide pedestrians and cyclists a safe alternative to a highly dangerous situation that previously existed. Thus, it is in the spirit of that overriding concern that these guidelines were developed by a group of persistent, and hard working volunteers in our community. Please observe these safety guidelines at all times.
Motorists:
Obey speed limits - 25 mph within the Village
Watch for all pedestrians and cyclists on all streets, intersections, and driveways
When entering and exiting from Duck Road (NC 12) onto side streets or entrance ways, be aware that you are crossing the trail -- slow down and use caution
Cyclists:
Watch for cars entering and exiting from Duck Road (NC 12)
Keep to your RIGHT, and alert others when approaching from behind, then pass safely to the left
It is very helpful to have a bike bell to alert those you are passing. A verbal "on your left" is also helpful
Runners & Walkers:
Watch for cars entering and exiting from Duck Road (NC 12)
While on the trail, keep to your RIGHT
If wearing a headset, keep the volume at a low level so you can hear cyclists or cars that may be approaching
In-Line Skaters:
Watch for cars entering and exiting from Duck Road (NC 12)
While on the trail, keep to your RIGHT -- be aware of the amount of space you use so as to not jeopardize the safety of pedestrians or cyclists
Other:
Mopeds and motorized carts are not permitted on the trail
Dogs should be leashed and cleaned up after
Stay to the RIGHT with carriages and strollers and slow when someone indicates that she or he is intending to pass to your left
