  • Trail: Slow down
  • Sidewalk: Slow down

I don't use multi-use paths with any degree of frequency anymore, mostly because they're pretty much nonexistent between Brightwood and the majority of the places I ride. Years ago, when I commuted between Arlington and the District, I used them every day, and I can't say I miss them. It's difficult enough to share the trail with cyclists of varying strengths and speeds; when you add pedestrians (particularly large tour groups near the monuments, or families walking with small children on any trail) and runners into the mix, stress levels tend to get pretty high for all those involved. Having separated paths for cyclists and peds/runners would be safer for everyone.
