Be safe, be seen
Pedestrians and cyclists be extra careful

With the darkness falling earlier and earlier each day, we encourage pedestrians and cyclists to be more visible at dusk and dawn to avoid the risk of collision.

Pedestrians and cyclists are encouraged to wear light coloured clothing, reflective clothing or vests, or reflective accessories; cyclists to equip their bicycles with lights.

The Town offers residents the possibility to purchase Saint-Lazare reflective vests for as little as $5, tax included, at the reception desk of the Town Hall and the community centre.

Risk of collisions between pedestrians, cyclists and all-terrain vehicles

Pedestrians and cyclists of the Cité-des-Papillons sector have access to a multi-use trail from Rue des Saturnes and Rue des Monarques. The City wishes to advise users that: At the end of this multi-use trail, another trail crosses, this time dedicated to all-terrain vehicles It is forbidden to venture on foot or by bike on this ATV trail A real risk of collision does exist Signs will be posted to advise users when the trail comes to an end and the where the risk of collision begins As a preventative measure, please advise all members of your family who may inadvertently venture there during the day or evening when visibility is reduced, especially children and teens.

Road signs warn drivers of the presence of hearing impaired residents.
The hearing impaired  could be startled by cars or cyclists.

Please be mindful !

This summer, let's share the road with the various users!

Read the press release.

The Town also inaugurate its new pedestrian crossing at the corner of Montée Saint-Lazare and Chemin Sainte-Angélique. This initiative is in keeping with the Town’s commitment to make the village core more user-friendly for pedestrians. Two additional crossings will be built before the end of the year, also on Chemin Sainte-Angélique: the first one near Rue des Marguerites and the second near Rue Saint-Jean-Baptiste.

When you are walking¹

• go to the nearest intersection to cross;
• walk on the sidewalk, or, if there isn't one, walk on the side of the road, facing traffic;
• avoid crossing the street between two parked cars;
• wear light-coloured clothes or clothing with reflective strips so that you are easily visible

When you are driving¹

• bring your vehicle to a stop before the stop line;
• obey road signs and traffic signals for pedestrians;
• before turning right on a red light where permitted, yield the right-of-way to pedestrians;
• keep your headlights on at all times so that pedestrians can see you and you can see them.
