| Health Tip | Keep right |
| If you're walking on a cycling or pedestrian path, always walk on the right-hand side so that faster walkers, runners and cyclists can easily pass. Leave the headphones at home so that you will be alert to any potential dangers, be it a dog, a fast-approaching car, or the sound of other people around you. |
