Rocklin, CA Mobility & Curb Rules: Bike Lane Rules (2026)

Rocklin Municipal Code § 10.28.060, 'Crossing bicycle ways or horse trail,' prohibits driving a vehicle upon or across a bicycle path, bicycle lane or horse trail in the city, except in three situations: to enter or leave a driveway, to lawfully park the vehicle, or to make a turn onto another roadway. Outside those exceptions, using a marked bike lane or path as a travel lane, or parking or standing across it, violates the section regardless of how briefly the vehicle occupies the space. The rule sits in Chapter 10.28, 'Driving and Roadway Use Generally,' next to the ban on parking in a bicycle path or horse trail found separately at § 10.24.040, which covers stopping, standing and parking rather than driving across the path.

Together the two sections address different conduct: § 10.24.040 stops a vehicle from sitting in the bike lane, while § 10.28.060 stops a vehicle from crossing or driving along it outside the driveway, parking or turning exceptions. Neither section states its own fine, so enforcement runs through the general penalty clause at § 1.18.010, which makes an unspecified violation a misdemeanor under state general law, with § 1.18.020 treating each separate incident as its own offense. Rocklin Police Department officers enforce both sections as part of routine traffic patrol.
