Seminole County, FL Mobility & Curb Rules: Bike Lane Rules (2026)

Sec. 52, adopted as part of Ord. No. 82-39 on October 10, 1982, prohibits operating any motor vehicle or moped upon any private or public bicycle trail or footpath in Seminole County. The only permitted crossing is a permanent driveway or a temporary driveway that has been duly authorized, so a homeowner or contractor cannot simply drive a truck or golf cart down a paved bike trail to reach a yard or job site without that specific authorization. The section covers both publicly maintained trails, such as those built along county roads and through parks, and privately owned trails and footpaths, closing a gap that would otherwise let a private landowner's bike path be treated as open to motorized traffic.

It follows directly after Sec. 51's ban on skateboards and roller skates on roadways and Sec. ' As with the rest of Article V, the Code sets no unique fine for this section, so a violation is punished under Sec. 69, Florida Statutes, and treats each day of continued violation as a separate offense.
