Full Breakdown
This is a Land Development Code standard for developers, not a rule for riders already on the road. Florida's Uniform Traffic Control Law (Fla. Stat. ch. 316) covers cyclist conduct statewide. Under Kissimmee Land Development Code § 14-7-4, a bicycle lane or off-street bicycle path must be built within the right-of-way of any new street segment located within two miles of a public school, and within all collector and arterial rights-of-way generally. Lanes and paths must meet the mandatory minimum safety design standards in the FDOT Design Manual, applied at site plan or plat review before construction is approved.
Violations & Fines
There's no per-ride penalty here: the requirement runs against developers. A project that omits a required bikeway can be denied site plan or plat approval by the city.
