Spring break is around the corner in Carlsbad, and you may notice more kids, teens and families walking and biking. Here are some tips to help everyone stay safe on the road. 

  • Talk to your students about the rules of the road, including rules for pedestrians and bicyclists and Carlsbad-specific e-bike rules

  • Anyone under 18 is legally required to wear a helmet while riding a bike. Make sure your student’s helmet fits properly

  • Eliminate distractions. Put your phone away when walking, driving or biking. 

  • When driving, slow down and allow plenty of time to get where you need to go.

  • Before you head out, remember to review the City of Carlsbad's map of major city construction projects that could impact traffic along your route.
