Full Breakdown
070 sets the basic rules of the road for bicycles and Electric Micromobility Devices. Riders may use a designated bike lane, path or trail unless signs say otherwise (subsection A), must 'ride as near to the right-hand side of the roadway as practicable, exercising due care when passing a standing vehicle or one proceeding in the same direction' (subsection B), and can't ride more than two abreast except on a path or roadway section set aside exclusively for bicycles (subsection C). Where a usable adjacent bike path exists, subsection D requires riders to use it instead of the roadway.
j separately bans stopping, standing or parking 'on any traffic lane designated and posted as a bike lane', meaning a driver who parks or double-parks in a marked bike lane is violating a distinct provision from the one governing cyclists' riding behavior. A. 60 violations are civil infractions enforced by the North Las Vegas Police Department, while bike-lane parking violations by motor vehicles are handled by the Parking Services Division.
Violations & Fines
A motor vehicle parked in a marked bike lane draws a $50 civil fine plus $20 for each of the first two late payments under the § 10.13.140 schedule's 'no parking in bike lane' line (§ 10.48.050.A.1.j). A cyclist who violates Chapter 10.60's riding rules faces a $150 fine for a first offense, $300 for a second, and $600 after that, under § 10.60.150.
