The City strategically added green paint to areas where motorists and cyclists frequently intersect, boosting awareness and safety for all road users.

Green paint does not change the rules of the road; it is used to make drivers and bicyclists more aware of each other as they share the road. It can be used as a guide for both rivers and cyclists, ensuring they're in the correct positions at intersections.

The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition is offering classes which will teach road rules, where to ride, general bike safety, emergency maneuvers, legal rights and responsibilities and will include a guided road ride to put your new skills into action!  Click below to sign up for a class in your area.
