Full Breakdown
Section 22-2-107(1)(l) of the West Valley City Municipal Code lists bike lanes among the places where stopping, standing, or parking a vehicle is flatly prohibited: 'on or within a lane of travel or trail designated for use by pedestrians, bicycles, or other nonmotorized vehicles.' The ban sits alongside similar no-stopping zones for intersections, crosswalks, and sidewalks in the same subsection, and applies citywide wherever such a lane or trail exists. Where a cyclist must ride within a lane is set by state traffic law, not this city ordinance.
