Northern Territory paths are shared cyclist and pedestrian paths and this means cyclists and pedestrians can use all paths. Cyclists must keep left and give way to pedestrians on all paths and pedestrians must look out for cyclists and give room for cyclists to pass. Cyclists and pedestrians should keep left on paths and overtake other path users to the right.
