It allows you to signal your intentions to other users following you and those who are coming in contact with you as well. You may find the code on the Canadian Council for Snowmobile Organizations site by clicking the following link: [http://www.ccso-ccom.ca/handsigs.html](http://www.ccso-ccom.ca/handsigs.html) **Circulation** Stay on the right side of the trail. Reduce your speed when in unknown territory. Be careful when you are crossing roads and railway tracks (it is your responsibility to decide when to cross, do not depend on others). At night, reduce your speed as your field of vision decreases. Stay on marked trails and respect all private properties. **On Waterways** It is not recommended to venture off on waterways. If you must do so, be sure the ice is suitable and stay on marked trails. To check if ice thickness is suitable, refer to the Canada Safety Council site by clicking on  the following link: [https://canadasafetycouncil.org/fr/prevention-au-canada-en-ligne/article/dossier-du-president-la-glace](https://canadasafetycouncil.org/fr/prevention-au-canada-en-ligne/article/dossier-du-president-la-glace) [Snowmobile](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/snowmobile) [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kimpex.com%2F2013%2F12%2Fsnowmobilw-safety-part-2-trails%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/linkedin-24x24.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kimpex.com%2F2013%2F12%2Fsnowmobilw-safety-part-2-trails%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kimpex.com%2F2013%2F12%2Fsnowmobilw-safety-part-2-trails%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kimpex.com%2F2013%2F12%2Fsnowmobilw-safety-part-2-trails%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Snowmobile%20Safety%20%28Part%202%20%E2%80%93%20On%20the%20trails%29) [![Share on Pinterest](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/pinterest-24x24.png)](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kimpex.com%2F2013%2F12%2Fsnowmobilw-safety-part-2-trails%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dpinterest&media=) [![clickngo2](https://blog.kimpex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_KPN_recent/Images/Side-bar-pub/KPX_Blog_ClickNGo2_770x100_En.jpg?width=770&height=100&name=KPX_Blog_ClickNGo2_770x100_En.jpg)](https://info.kimpex.com/atv-quad-snow-plow-click-n-go) ### Related posts ## [CKX Contact Snowmobile Helmet: Safety, Comfort and Innovation](https://blog.kimpex.com/ckx-contact-snowmobile-helmet-safety-comfort-and-innovation) By [Kimpex](https://blog.kimpex.com/ckx-contact-snowmobile-helmet-safety-comfort-and-innovation/author/) | on 16, Oct 2025 |  [Kimpex News](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/kimpex-news) [Snowmobile](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/snowmobile) [Trail Snowmobiling](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/trail-snowmobiling) [Snowmobile Parts and Accessories](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/snowmobile-parts-and-accessories) The practice of motor sports requires a good amount of equipment.
