Navigational markers highlight trail communities - The navigational markers are a representation of the community in where it stands, highlighting the beauty and natural landscape of the area. Written on each sign is the community’s name followed by the words, “on the Pinellas Trail.” The goal is to highlight the sections of the trail that are not in a city, but are in a recognized trail community.

Emergency Assistance Markers - Pinellas County Parks and Conservation Resources maintenance crews are finishing the installation of new markers along the Pinellas Trail for trail users needing emergency assistance.

Nearly 700 markers are being affixed to the pavement at 200 to 300 foot intervals along the Pinellas Trail from downtown St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs. Each marker has a unique, easily readable number which trail users can give to a 9-1-1 operator in case of an emergency to identify their exact location along the 47-mile trail, allowing for faster response times.

The markers were purchased at a cost of $8,000 and are made from a durable, UV resistant material expected to last up to seven years.

Placement of these new markers was endorsed by the Pinellas Trails Security Task Force to improve safety along Pinellas County’s award-winning recreation trail.
