Oklahoma City's BikeWalkOKC plan guides an expanding network of bike lanes and shared streets. Cyclists must obey traffic signals, use lanes where provided, and may ride on most sidewalks outside the central business district.
OKC has built out painted bike lanes along corridors like Classen, Western, and stretches of NW Expressway under the BikeWalkOKC master plan and MAPS-funded streetscape projects. Cyclists generally have the same duties as drivers under Chapter 50 traffic rules and Oklahoma state vehicle code. Sidewalk riding is permitted in most residential and commercial areas, but is prohibited within the downtown business district where pedestrian volumes are highest. Drivers must give cyclists at least three feet when passing under Oklahoma state law, and bike-lane blocking can draw a parking citation.
Running signals, riding the wrong way, or unsafe sidewalk riding can result in moving citations under Ch. 50. Drivers blocking bike lanes face standard parking fines starting near fifty dollars.
