Full Breakdown
Chapter 30 of the Miami-Dade County Code, the countywide traffic code that reaches both incorporated and unincorporated areas, bars stopping, standing, or parking a vehicle on a bicycle path at any time under Section 30-49(2)(a)(ix), with no exception listed. A separate clause, Section 30-49(2)(c)(vi), forbids parking or stopping in an exclusive on-street bicycle lane too, but carves out a momentary stop to pick up or discharge a passenger. Violations are civil parking citations under Section 30-50: $42.00 if paid within 30 days, rising to $52.00 after. The county's Traffic and Transportation Department, which Section 2-96.1 gives exclusive jurisdiction over traffic control countywide, and municipal police enforce it.
Violations & Fines
Stopping, standing, or parking on a bicycle path at any time, or parking longer than a brief passenger stop in an exclusive bicycle lane, draws a $42 civil citation, rising to $52 if unpaid after 30 days.
