Folks,
Been traveling a bit lately and have come across several parks that have directional trails. Have seen two scenarios:
@ Hershey Hospital trails, they are directional, one-way, period.
@ High Hill Bike Run park (Florence, SC) are directional, but rotate with M/W/F/SA in one direction, and the other days in the other direction - also with Joggers/walkers instructed to go in the opposite direction.
Good signage makes it work, and people seem to go along with it....
just two examples.
Would any trails in NJ benefit from this type of setup? I think so. Its great to know that you won't run into anyone (really, a lot less interaction with other bikers) and if you come upon a hiker/jogger going in the opposite direction, I think its a bit less disruptive to them....
Wondering what folks think....
