Chief Shaw discusses safety rules for Tweetsie Trail

ELIZABETHTON — The coming of spring brings a busy time for the Tweetsie Trail. Lots of bicyclists and pedestrians have returned to the trail, as well as some new users of the trail. With the renewed activity, the Johnson City Press asked Elizabethton Police Chief Jason Shaw to go over the rules of the road for the trail, since much of the trail is inside Elizabeth-ton’s city limits.
“The Tweetsie Trail is a wonderful asset in our community and it is heavily used, but it does cross some very busy streets,” Shaw said.
He said there is a stop sign on the trail at each intersection with a street or highway. He said the stops signs are there “to signal to the trail user to stop prior to crossing the roadway.” Shaw said that those on the trail “should make sure they can cross the street safely before attempting to enter the crosswalk, and always keep in mind there are distracted drivers and those that may not be watching out for trail users.”
