Atlanta's bike network combines protected lanes downtown, painted bike lanes citywide, and the Beltline multi-use trail; cyclists follow Georgia traffic law plus Atlanta DOT trail-etiquette rules.
Atlanta has expanded its protected bike lane network through the Renew Atlanta and More MARTA bond programs, with major facilities on Edgewood Avenue, 10th Street, and Juniper Street. The Atlanta Beltline Eastside, Westside, and Southside trails connect dozens of neighborhoods and accommodate cyclists, pedestrians, and slow-speed e-bikes. Cyclists must follow Georgia Code Title 40 traffic rules, including stop-sign compliance and front lights at night. On the Beltline, speed is capped around 15 mph and Class 3 e-bikes are restricted. Atlanta DOT's Vision Zero program targets pedestrian and cyclist fatalities through corridor redesigns and lower posted speeds.
Cyclists riding without lights at night or running red lights can be cited under Georgia Code; on the Beltline, exceeding speed limits or using prohibited motorized devices may bring trail citations and removal.
