Ordinance Text
6-13-7: RIDING ON ROADWAYS:
A. No person shall operate a bicycle, E-bike, or E-scooter on a roadway against the flow of motorized vehicular traffic, except where permitted by official signs or pavement markings.
B. Every person operating a bicycle, E-bike, or E-scooter upon a two-way roadway is entitled to use the lane appropriate for the intended destination, including the right-hand lane and any designated bus lane. The bicycle, E-bike, or E-scooter rider shall proceed in the same direction of travel as other vehicles authorized to use that lane. On one-way roadways, a bicycle, E-bike, or E-scooter may be operated in any existing lane.
C. The operator of a bicycle, E-bike, or E-scooter traveling at a rate of speed that delays a vehicle following in the same lane shall be required, when it is unlawful or unsafe for the following vehicle to pass, to move as far to the right of the traveled roadway, or to the left where the bicycle, E-bike, or E-scooter is in the left lane of a one-way roadway, as is safe under the conditions then existing; provided, however, that when the operator is within fifty feet (50') of an intersection, he shall not be required to move to the right or left until he has moved through the intersection.
D. In right turn-only lanes where traffic signs or signals indicate a bus, trolley, or street car is permitted to go straight rather than turn right, a bicycle, E-bike, or E-scooter operator shall be permitted to go straight rather than turn right. (Ord. 28-18, 8-21-2018; amd. Ord. 20-23, 7-11-2023)
