Westchester County operates the South County Trailway, North County Trailway, and Bronx River Pathway with posted speed and conduct rules, while New York Vehicle and Traffic Law governs bicycle behavior in on-street bike lanes throughout the county.
On county trailways, cyclists must yield to pedestrians, ride no more than two abreast, and observe posted speed limits, typically 15 mph. Motor vehicles, e-bikes class 3 above 20 mph, and motorized scooters are restricted on most pathways. On-street bike lanes follow NY VTL Article 34, requiring cyclists to use bike lanes when usable, signal turns, and follow traffic signals. Cities such as Yonkers and White Plains have adopted Complete Streets policies adding protected lanes on key corridors.
Trail violations carry fines from county parks rangers, typically 50 to 250 dollars. On-street bike-lane infractions follow VTL fines, generally 100 to 200 dollars depending on the moving violation involved.
