Summary
Green Bay requires cyclists to ride within five feet of the curb, single-file in groups except on unmarked residential streets, and to obey all traffic signals under Municipal Code § 40-107.
The rider of a bicycle shall ride as near as practicable to within five feet of the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway, except when passing another vehicle or making a left-hand turn; and when riding in groups, bicyclists shall ride in single file, except on residential streets which are not divided by painted or other marked extra lines where they may ride two abreast. On one-way roads, the rider may ride as near as practicable to within five feet of the left-hand curb or edge of the roadway.
Full Breakdown
Under § 40-107(4), a cyclist must ride as near as practicable to within five feet of the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway, except when passing or turning left. Riders in groups must go single file, unless on a residential street without painted lane markings, where two abreast is allowed. On one-way streets, riders may hug the left curb instead. The same section bans clinging to vehicles, racing traffic, and stunt riding, and requires obedience to arterial signs and signals.
Violations & Fines
No specific penalty is set for § 40-107, so the chapter's general penalty applies: a forfeiture of not less than $1.00 nor more than $500.00 under § 40-162.
