Wayne County roads include a growing bike-lane network managed by member cities, the Detroit Riverwalk and Iron Belle Trail, with Michigan Vehicle Code requiring drivers to give cyclists at least three feet when passing on county and city streets.
Bike infrastructure in Wayne County varies by community. Detroit has expanded its bike-lane mileage substantially since the 2010s, with protected lanes along Cass, East Jefferson, and other corridors, plus the Detroit Riverwalk and Dequindre Cut for off-street use. Suburban communities maintain shared-use paths along rail corridors and the Iron Belle Trail. Michigan Vehicle Code MCL 257.636 requires drivers to give cyclists at least three feet of clearance when passing. Cyclists must obey traffic signals, ride with traffic, and may use sidewalks unless a specific city prohibits sidewalk riding in business districts.
Three-foot-passing violations and improper-passing tickets can carry civil-infraction fines of one hundred dollars or more plus points on the driver's license.
