With days getting shorter, make sure others can see you on the road. Proper lighting isn’t just a legal requirement - it helps keep everyone safe. Whether you’re driving or cycling, check your lights before you head out.

E-scooters can be a convenient way to get around Guelph - but safety comes first. Before you ride, know the rules, wear a helmet, stay alert, slow down near pedestrians and make sure drivers can see you. Ride smart. Ride safe. Share the road. Learn more at guelphpolice.ca/escooters
