Full Breakdown

040(C) of the Pinal County Development Services Code names obstructing a bike lane as one of the conditions that triggers a parking prohibition on any county street, road, or highway, whether paved or unpaved. 050. § 28-815(D), Arizona's statewide stopping-in-a-bike-lane statute. 030, is what puts drivers on notice. The county engineer can implement the restriction immediately where safety is at risk and bring it to the Board of Supervisors for ratification within 90 days. This chapter was adopted by Ordinance No. 070225-RD24-168 on July 2, 2025, and it applies only on public streets, roads, and highways in the unincorporated county, not on state or federal highways or within incorporated cities and towns such as Florence, Casa Grande, or the City of Maricopa.

A vehicle parked in a marked bike lane in violation of Chapter 7.25 can be towed at the owner's expense, immobilized with a boot or barnacle, and assessed a civil fine of not less than $250.00 per vehicle, per occurrence, per day under Section 7.25.080 and A.R.S. § 11-251.05. The registered owner of the vehicle is prima facie responsible for the violation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I stop briefly in a striped bike lane on a county road?

No. Section 7.25.040(C) lists obstructing a bike lane as a prohibited parking condition once the road segment is marked, and Section 7.25.050(B) confirms striping a bike lane itself prohibits parking there under A.R.S. § 28-815(D).

Does the county need to post a sign for every bike lane no-parking rule?

Not necessarily. Section 7.25.050(B) says the restriction becomes effective once the roadway is striped or marked as a bike lane along its outside edge, separate from the standard signage rule in Section 7.25.050(A).

What is the penalty for parking in a Pinal County bike lane?

Towing at the owner's expense, immobilization with a boot or barnacle, and a civil fine of not less than $250.00 per vehicle per occurrence per day, per Section 7.25.080 and A.R.S. § 11-251.05.
