Bike lanes on Boise streets are designed and maintained by Ada County Highway District, while the Boise River Greenbelt is a city-managed multi-use path with separate speed and yielding rules for cyclists.
ACHD owns and signs all roadway bike lanes in Ada County, including buffered and protected lanes downtown. Riders must obey standard Idaho traffic rules, including the Idaho Stop, which lets cyclists treat stop signs as yields. The Boise Greenbelt is a 25-mile shared-use path managed by Boise Parks and Recreation, with a posted 15 mph cyclist speed limit, a yield-to-pedestrians rule, and seasonal lighting. Dooring violations are enforced under Idaho motor-vehicle code. New developments along corridor districts must dedicate bike infrastructure consistent with ACHD's Roadways to Bikeways plan.
Speeding on the Greenbelt or failing to yield to pedestrians can draw a parks citation. Roadway bike-lane violations are handled as standard traffic infractions.
