Huntington Beach, CA Mobility & Curb Rules: Bike Lane Rules (2026)

230 authorizes the Traffic Engineer to erect signs marking a bicycle lane or path and to regulate bicycle and vehicle use of it; the lane itself is marked by a six-inch wide reflectorized white line, and once signs are posted, no person may disobey them. 270 makes it unlawful to park a motor vehicle across or on a bike lane or path except for permitted emergency parking, to drive across a bike lane without yielding to bicycles already in it, or to operate any motorized bicycle, motor-driven cycle, or motorcycle on a bike path or sidewalk.

250 requires travel in the same direction as adjacent vehicle traffic unless the surface is marked with two-way arrows. 170 requires a cyclist riding on a sidewalk to yield to pedestrians and sound an audible signal before passing, and to yield to roadway traffic when moving from sidewalk to street. 260 lets riders walk a bike under the same rules that apply to pedestrians. 275 folds motorized scooters into every one of these bicycle-lane rules, so a rented or owned motorized scooter is held to the identical obstruction, direction-of-travel, and group-riding standards as a bicycle.
