Full Breakdown

City Code § 32-484 prohibits standing, parking, or driving a motor vehicle in a bicycle lane except to park where parking is otherwise permitted, to enter or leave the roadway, while actually executing a turn, when the vehicle is disabled with no other place to go, or while actively loading or unloading passengers or materials. Cyclists carry a matching duty under § 32-479(c): on streets with a marked bicycle lane, riders must stay within it except when passing, turning, or dodging debris, and § 32-483 requires signaling before leaving the lane. The Oklahoma City Police Department enforces both.

Violations & Fines

Violating any provision of the bicycle article, including blocking a bike lane with a vehicle or riding outside one without cause, is a Class "a" offense, punishable by a fine up to $500 excluding costs and fees under § 32-492 and § 1-6.
