Greensboro, NC Mobility & Curb Rules: Bike Lane Rules (2026)

Sec. 16-228 establishes bicycle-street lanes on the streets or portions of streets designated in traffic schedule no. 11. Once official traffic signs are posted marking a bicycle-street lane, the section makes it unlawful for any person to drive, or enter any vehicle (except a bicycle or micromobility vehicle) within a bicycle-street lane. The prohibition covers both driving through and parking or stopping inside the marked lane: any non-bicycle, non-micromobility vehicle entering the space at all is a violation, not just one that blocks through traffic.

The section sits in Article V alongside the sidewalk-riding rule (Sec. 16-227), which separately requires bicycles and micromobility vehicles on central-business-district sidewalks to yield to pedestrians and confines sidewalk riding there to permanent or temporary driveway crossings, and the brakes requirement in Sec. 16-225, which requires a bicycle or micromobility vehicle ridden on a street to carry brakes in good working order. 1 et seq. Like the rest of Article V, a Sec. 00 penalty.
