Cycle paths
Over the years, to ensure safe and enjoyable cycling, the City of Vaudreuil-Dorion has developed a network of bike paths that now totals 58 km.
A network from one end of the City to the other
The entire bike path network is asphalted. It is accessible to all—walkers, joggers and inline skaters. It crosses several neighbourhoods, connecting parks, schools, grocery stores, shops, etc.

Planned work for 2024
- A new off-road multi-use path will be built on rue Émile-Bouchard, between boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes and rue Toe-Blake. In view of the residential construction in this area, the portion of the trail between rue Toe-Blake and the municipal hub will be built at a later date, to avoid additional obstructions.
- Phase 2 of the bike path on rue Valois, between 8th Avenue and avenue Marier, is conditional on receiving financial assistance. This is a mostly off-pavement path.
- The bike lane on the north side (westbound) of rue Jeannotte will be moved off the roadway to increase user safety, between boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes and rue Bourget.

Good practice and compliance with rules
The Highway Safety Code applies to everyone, and respecting it is essential to make sharing the road with other users as pleasant as possible. Unforeseen events can occur: people emerging between two cars, doors opening, motorists who forget to use their turn signals, etc. It is therefore important to pay attention and stay focused on the road. It is also important to remain vigilant at intersections by making eye contact with other road users. Caution is especially advised at intersections where right turns are allowed on a red light. Finally, to anticipate dangers and unforeseen events on the road, travelling at a moderate speed, between 15 and 20 km / h, is highly recommended in order to have enough time to react.
