Cleveland's bicycle network, expanded under the Bikeway Implementation Plan and Vision Zero Cleveland, includes protected lanes, buffered lanes, and shared-use trails like the Cleveland Foundation Centennial Lake Link Trail.
Cleveland Vision Zero, adopted to eliminate traffic fatalities, drives investment in protected bike lanes on streets like Lorain, Detroit, and Superior, complemented by trail networks linking Tremont, Ohio City, and the lakefront. Drivers must give cyclists a three-foot clearance under Ohio Revised Code §4511.27, and bicyclists must follow standard traffic laws under ORC §4511.52. Bike infrastructure is coordinated with NOACA regional planning.
Driver and cyclist violations are enforced under Ohio Revised Code Title 45 and Cleveland Codified Ordinances 431-473 by Cleveland Police traffic enforcement.
