We are skating on open roads and must obey Georgia bicycle laws. In addition: - Stay on the right side of the road.
- If someone calls "car up", a car is approaching ahead of us.
- If someone calls "car back", a car is approaching from behind, stay in single file on the right side of the road.
- Don't lead if you don't know the way.
SKATE SMART - Always wear protective gear: helmet, wrist/elbow/knee pads.
- Master the basics: moving, stopping, and turning.
- Maintain equipment: replace worn brakes and rotate wheels.
SKATE LEGAL - Obey all traffic regulations.
(example: stop for stop lights/signs) - Skaters have same obligations as any wheeled vehicle.
SKATE ALERT - Control your speed.
- Watch for road hazards.
- Avoid water, oil, and sand.
- Avoid heavy traffic.
SKATE POLITE - Skate on the right, pass on the left. Call out, "Passing on your left."
- Always yield to pedestrians.
- Be a good-will ambassador for inline skating.
