Full Breakdown

Nampa City Code section 7-2-16(A)(15) bars stopping or parking a vehicle on a bike lane or bike path anywhere in the city, alongside 17 other listed no-stop spots like crosswalks, fire hydrants and intersections. The only exception is when stopping is unavoidable to dodge traffic or follow a police officer's or traffic-control device's direction. Section 7-2-19(B)(23) lists "on a bike lane or bike path" as its own parking-ticket violation code, so an officer or code enforcement parking services can write a ticket specifically for blocking the bike lane, separate from generic no-parking citations. Fines are set by council resolution.

Violations & Fines

Stopping or parking in a bike lane draws a parking ticket under section 7-2-19(B)(23); fines are set by council resolution, with escalating fees for repeat violations and unpaid tickets referred to collections.
