Our Regular Reminder As long as cyclists don’t obey traffic rules or automobiles pass pedestrians in crosswalks, we will continue to remind all: Cycling on Butler or Jones is dangerous! Tybee cyclists, please use the 2nd Ave bike route. Cyclists have all the responsibilities of any vehicle! If you are driving, keep in mind: cyclists have all the rights of a motor vehicle, and you MUST provide 3’ space when passing a cyclist! You must STOP for any pedestrians crossing or trying to cross at any marked crosswalks. It is illegal to pass a car stopped at a crosswalk – you must assume a pedestrian is crossing. Remember, the Butler Ave speed limit is 30 MPH from the Curve to Tybrisa. Let out-of-town guests and friends know, too!
