Aurora maintains a growing network of bike lanes, multiuse trails, and on-street bikeways, with state and local rules requiring motorists to yield to cyclists in marked lanes and to leave at least three feet when passing.
Colorado Revised Statutes set baseline rules for bicycle operation, three-foot passing, and idaho-stop allowances for cyclists at stop signs in some contexts. Aurora supplements these with local design standards in the UDO and Capital Improvement Program for protected bike lanes on key corridors and trail connections to Cherry Creek and the High Line Canal. Cyclists must follow vehicle traffic laws, use lights at night, and yield to pedestrians on shared paths. New developments must accommodate planned bike facilities along adjacent streets.
Drivers who fail to yield, encroach into bike lanes, or violate three-foot passing can be cited under Colorado traffic law. Cyclists violating signals or path rules can also receive citations.
