Full Breakdown
City Code Sec. 14-5(a)(2) lists the places where a vehicle cannot stand or park, even momentarily, except to actually pick up or discharge a passenger. Subsection (a)(2)f specifically names an exclusive bicycle lane alongside other protected zones like fire hydrants, crosswalks and fire station driveways. The section also bars parking on a bicycle path outright under subsection (a)(1)i, which applies even during the brief stops that are otherwise allowed near other restricted locations. Both provisions were last amended by Ordinance No. 25-018, effective November 4, 2025, as part of a broader rewrite of the City's stopping, standing and parking rules. The bicycle-lane and bicycle-path bans exist alongside the general prohibition in subsection (b), which makes it unlawful to move a vehicle not lawfully under a person's control into any prohibited area.
Violations & Fines
Parking or standing in a bicycle lane or path is enforced as a parking citation under the civil penalty provisions of Sec. 14-11 and can also trigger removal by the City's contracted towing service under Sec. 14-5.1, which layers on an administrative charge of up to 25 percent of Palm Beach County's maximum towing rate on top of the towing company's own fees.
