| Special Navigation Instructions |
IPHONE users: As you arrive at each “stop” along the route, you must remove it in order to proceed to the next “stop.” BUT DO NOT REMOVE THE ROUTE STARTING POINT!! There may be stops included on routes that are strictly for directional purposes and not intended as a real “stop.” E.g., UPS Drop Box, a real estate company, a church. Safety: Obey all traffic laws. Use crosswalks and sidewalks wherever possible. When sidewalks are not available, generally it is recommended to walk against traffic but there may be times where the shoulder is wider walking WITH traffic. Be careful approaching curves and hills as visibility will be limited! Walk with a buddy. |
