Antioch, CA Mobility & Curb Rules: Bike Lane Rules (2026)

1007, in Article 10 of the traffic chapter, establishes bicycle and pedestrian lanes and requires that they be appropriately signed. The section makes it unlawful for any person to operate or park a motor vehicle, defined broadly to include an automobile, motorcycle, motor scooter, or motorized two- or three-wheel vehicle, upon a bicycle and pedestrian lane. The only carve-out is for maintenance and emergency vehicles, which can enter the lanes to do their work or respond to a call. The same section separately bans riding or walking a horse in a bicycle and pedestrian lane, closing off equestrian use of the space entirely.

1006's rule against blocking intersections, all enacted together by Ordinance 317-C-S in 1976 and never separately amended for bike lanes since. Because the ban covers both driving and parking, a car that merely stops or stands in a bike lane, not just one that drives through it, is in violation. 202, which task officers with enforcing the street traffic regulations of the city and making arrests for traffic violations.
