    Although the signage on the Georgetown-Lewes rail trail correctly notes the difference between pedestrians and cyclists, in my experience many cyclists assume they have the same right-of-way privileges as pedestrians. Unfortunately, the Cape Gazette article on the Sweetbriar Road warning lights incorrectly suggests that bicycles and pedestrians are treated identically when using the trail.

    It would be a good thing if the trail made a clearer distinction between pedestrians and cyclists.
