It would help to have more signs at access points. Perhaps I have missed seeing the signs, but to my knowledge the only list of rules on the Greenway is at the trail fork in Smith Park.

One thing I learned while living in the Metro DC area when using the bike path is when you are passing someone you call ahead and say "passing on your left" -- it's very useful -- unless they have their ipod cranked, then it's up to them to make sure to walk on their side and not wander around aimlessly (this applies to cell phone users too). Thanks Chris. These are great guides (dare I say common courtesy?) and need to get out to the users of the greenways.

I don't see it as often as dog poop, but the people who leave it behind are pretty shameless. Lynda,

You’re right about the trash. I don’t see it as often as dog poop, but the people who leave it behind are pretty shameless.

There are plenty of trash receptacles along the greenway for you to deposit your food and drink containers, even if you have to carry it a few extra feet until you reach one.

But...there are those who prove the lack of common sense is running rampant everywhere. I hope those who are lacking will be enlightened by your list.

They assume, since there is nothing in front of them they can walk in the middle of the trail. I frequently ride my bike on the Greenway and people are oblivious to me coming up behind them.
