Old Bridge, NJ Mobility & Curb Rules: Bike Lane Rules (2026)

Chapter 10's Section 10-24, titled Bicycle routes/lanes, is the section that would hold Old Bridge's official list of bicycle lane streets, sides and widths, but as printed the schedule is reserved and carries no entries, meaning the Township Council has not yet designated any street as an official bicycle lane under the traffic code. The section does fix the technical floor for any lane that is designated: a minimum width of four feet, set by reference to the federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways.

Separately, the Land Development ordinance addresses bikeways created inside new subdivisions and site plans. Section 250-72B, covering sidewalks and bikeways within the chapter's circulation-system standards, requires a separate bicycle path whenever the Master Plan calls for one, and Section 250-72B(2)(b) sets the placement rule: a required bicycle lane goes in the outside lane of the roadway, next to the curb or shoulder, and where on-street parking is allowed, the bike lane sits between the parking lane and the lane of moving traffic, delineated by markings such as striping rather than raised reflectors or curbs.

Because no street in Old Bridge currently carries an official Section 10-24 designation, none of the chapter's parking, obstruction or moving-violation sections currently apply to a marked bicycle lane in town; the operative rules right now govern how a lane must be built if and when the Township designates one, whether townwide by ordinance or as a condition of new development approval.
