Stockton operates a bicycle network of Class I, II, III, and IV facilities under its Bicycle Master Plan, with state Vehicle Code rules governing bike lane usage and motorist obligations.
California Vehicle Code Sections 21208 and 21209 regulate bicyclist use of bike lanes and motorist crossing of bike lanes only for turns, parking, or entering traffic. Stockton has expanded protected bike lanes (Class IV) and shared-use paths along the Calaveras River and Mormon Slough waterfronts under its Bicycle Master Plan. Riders must obey traffic laws, use lights at night, and yield to pedestrians on shared paths. Sidewalk riding rules vary by district.
Motorists illegally driving or parking in marked bike lanes face base fines under the California Vehicle Code, while cyclists violating traffic signals or lighting rules can be cited similarly.
