Broadway Bicycle/Pedestrian Safety Zone

The City of Fargo has designated the downtown section of Broadway as a Bicycle/Pedestrian Safety Zone. The zone includes Broadway’s street and sidewalks and extends from 6th Avenue North to NP Avenue.

Bicyclists should:

• Ride on the street and obey rules of the road for vehicles.
• Use appropriate hand signals for turning and stopping.
• Ride close to the center lane to maximize visibility.
• Wear a helmet.

Bicycles are allowed on any other street or sidewalk outside of the Broadway Bicycle/Pedestrian Safety Zone. Please be courteous to pedestrians, walk your bike across the crosswalks, and watch out for turning vehicles.

Motorists should:

• Allow bicyclists to integrate into traffic.
• Drive carefully and watch for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles backing out of parking spaces.

On sidewalks:

• Bicyclists must walk their bikes in the Bicycle/Pedestrian Safety Zone and obey rules for pedestrians.
• Cross streets only at crosswalks.
• Obey traffic signals.
