Full Breakdown

Ceres Municipal Code § 10.05.050 bars any vehicle from operating within an officially designated bicycle path except to enter or exit a driveway or cross at an intersection. Cyclists get reciprocal rights: § 10.05.040 lets a rider use a marked bicycle lane or path appropriate to their direction of travel, or ride on the sidewalk where otherwise permitted. Pedestrians, in turn, are barred from walking along a bicycle path or lane once an adjacent sidewalk exists under § 10.08.080. Ceres Police Department enforces these traffic rules citywide.

Violations & Fines

Driving or parking in a marked bicycle path outside a driveway entry or intersection crossing violates § 10.05.050; Ceres Police Department can stop and cite the vehicle operator under the traffic code.
