From 12-8pm on Thursday August 30, Police and Volunteers from the Ipswich District will be presenting a static display at the Orion Shopping Centre, Springfield focusing on Bicycle Safety.
Whether you’re a rider, a driver or a pedestrian, come see us and learn more about bicycle safety.
Bicycle riders are some of our most vulnerable road users.
That’s why rules about drivers staying wide of the rider are in place.
However bicycle riders must also obey the road rules.
Whether you’re on two wheels, four or more, together, we can all stay safe on the roads.
It’s easy to become complacent when you’re on a familiar route or wearing headphones, it’s easy to get distracted.
So stay safe when you use the roads – think, look, listen.
Bicycle riders are reminded to engage these easy suggestions for reaching your cycling destination safely:
Wear an approved fastened helmet
Obey the road rules, stop at red lights and stop signs and give way
