St. Louis Bike STL plan, adopted 2014 and updated 2022, builds out roughly 90 miles of bike lanes including protected lanes on Tower Grove, Chouteau, and the Riverfront Trail. Cyclists must follow Title XV traffic rules and Missouri statute Chapter 307.
The Streets Department maintains the bike lane network alongside Great Rivers Greenway. Cyclists ride with traffic, signal turns, and use lights at night. Missouri's three-foot passing law (RSMo 304.678) protects cyclists; STL has additionally enacted contraflow lanes on selected one-way streets. Sidewalk cycling is permitted outside the CBD. Drivers blocking a bike lane face Title XV citation. Door-zone awareness is encouraged but no separate dooring statute exists. Trailnet advocates network expansion toward the Brickline Greenway connecting Forest Park to the Arch.
Cycling without a front light at night, riding against traffic, or motorists parking in bike lanes each draw separate Title XV traffic citations and points-eligible fines.
