Clarington Municipal Guide Explains Crossrides for Cyclists at Intersections

The Municipality of Clarington has provided information outlining the use of crossrides at certain intersections in the area. Crossrides are marked crossings that allow cyclists to ride across the street without dismounting. The municipality reports that these crossings are identified with specific pavement markings, including thick white lines and, in some cases, bicycle symbols.

According to the Municipality of Clarington, cyclists may ride their bicycles through intersections using crossrides where these markings are present. In areas without these markings, cyclists are required to dismount and walk their bikes when using a standard crosswalk. The municipality states that cyclists must yield to pedestrians when crossing at a crossride.

The municipality also advises that drivers should be aware of crossrides and yield to cyclists who are crossing at these locations. All markings and rules regarding crossrides are established by the Municipality of Clarington.

Residents can find crossrides at designated intersections within Clarington. Additional guidance on crossride locations and usage is available through the municipality’s official materials.
