Travis County Transportation and Natural Resources stripes bike lanes on county arterials including Cameron Road, FM 1826, and South Pleasant Valley extensions. Texas Transportation Code grants cyclists full road rights and three-foot passing under HB 1755 statewide.
Travis County has expanded bike infrastructure through the All Systems Go regional plan and the Travis County Bicycle Plan, with separated paths along Southern Walnut Creek Trail and shared-use facilities on Brodie Lane and Spicewood Springs. Most county roads remain rural without dedicated lanes, so cyclists are entitled to operate on the full lane under Texas Transportation Code Chapter 551. The statewide Lisa Torry Smith Act and earlier vulnerable road user provisions require motorists to give cyclists a safe passing distance, with Austin and several Travis County cities adopting three-foot passing ordinances. Sidewalk cycling is generally legal in unincorporated Travis County absent specific municipal prohibitions.
Failure to yield to a cyclist or unsafe passing can result in citations under Texas Transportation Code Chapter 545, with fines from 200 dollars and enhanced penalties if injury results under the Lisa Torry Smith Act.
