Share the Space - safely and respectfully

The Share the Space video series encourages safe and respectful sharing of our paths and roads. (Video transcripts are available.)

Key tips to sharing the space whether you are riding a bike, walking or driving a vehicle include:

  • Ringing your bicycle's bell when overtaking pedestrians
  • Walking and riding on the left hand side of paths
  • Giving way to others when turning
  • Avoiding being distracted while driving, walking or riding
  • Paying attention when backing out of driveways
  • Walking your dog on a short lead and on the left hand side of paths
  • Allowing plenty of room when overtaking other people riding bicycles
  • Bike riders slowing down on busy shared paths
  • Bike riders and people walking moving to single file to allow others to overtake, when it is safe to do so.
Share the Space - be safe

Share the space with comedians Matt Storer and Famous Sharon.

When riding, walking or scooting around Cockburn, don't forget to 'share the space like you share the fresh air'.
 

Share the Space - be predictable
Learn how to be more predictable when in your car, walking or on your bike.

By ringing your bell when you're going past on a bike and staying to the left, you can be more predictable on the road, bikeway or footpath.

 

Share the Space - be courteous

Learn how to be more courteous when driving, walking or on your bike.

Keep your dog close, give plenty of space when passing and slow down when others are using the same space as you. 
 

Share the Space - avoid distractions
Learn how to avoid distractions when driving, walking or on your bike.

Focus on the road ahead when driving, keep your eyes peeled when walking and look right when crossing roads.

This video series has been developed by the East Metropolitan Regional Council and its member Councils in partnership with the City of Cockburn, Town of Cambridge and City of Vincent. For more information, visit the Share the Space website.
