Where to find official bike lane maps and designated routes

How designated routes are defined and signed

Designated cycling routes are established through transportation planning and capital projects. Signs, pavement markings and parking restrictions are used to identify and protect bike lanes. Maintenance schedules, seasonal plowing priorities, and construction detours may affect route availability; check project notices on the City site for up-to-date closures and changes.

  • Check planned projects and closures before longer rides.
  • Follow temporary detour signage during construction.
  • Use multi-use trails where recommended for mixed active-transport trips.

Specific ticket amounts and bylaw sections for parking in a bike lane or obstructing a designated route are not specified on the City bikeways map page cited above; see the City enforcement and bylaws pages listed in Help and Support for authoritative ticket schedules and bylaw text.[1]
