Stay alert around the streetcar tracks:

  • If you must ride you bike along the H St./Benning corridor, cross tracks at an angle to avoid getting your wheel stuck. Never ride parallel to the streetcar tracks on H Street.
  • Please consider an alternate route to H Street and Benning Road. G and I Streets have contraflow bike lanes, allowing for two-way bicycle travel that is safer than riding parallel to the tracks on H Street. Gales Street NE is an alternate route to Benning Road.

Learn about sharing the road with streetcars and using the G and I Street bike lanes in this bicyclist safety video.
