Omaha's bike network includes on-street lanes, shared lanes (sharrows), and the regional Keystone and Field Club trails. Motor vehicles cannot block striped bike lanes, and cyclists must yield at marked crossings under city traffic rules.
The Omaha Public Works Department maintains a growing on-street bike lane network and connects to the multi-use Keystone Trail, Field Club Trail, and the riverfront trail toward the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. Striped bike lanes are restricted travel lanes; motor vehicles may not park or stop in them except for emergencies. Cyclists must obey traffic signals and use lights at night per Nebraska Rules of the Road. Heartland Bike Share complements the lane network with docked bicycles in central neighborhoods.
Blocking a bike lane is a parking violation typically $25-$50. Cyclists riding without lights at night face fines around $25 under Nebraska law.
