Bike lanes

Bike lanes are on-street travel lanes reserved for people cycling. They are separate from sidewalks and motor vehicle traffic lanes. Bike lanes can be separated from traffic with a painted line, a painted buffer, a curb or other physical barriers. People must ride in the same direction as other traffic when using the lane.

People cycling are not limited to bike lanes when riding. You may ride your bike on all city streets in St. John's, unless a posted no cycling sign is up on the street.

Shared-use paths

Shared-use paths are used by both people walking, cycling and wheeling. People can travel in both directions and should yield to slower transportation users. People who are walking always have the right of way on a shared-use path. Please remember, to keep to the right and ring your bell while riding before passing anyone.

Riding on trails

Trails are a great way to get around and explore, but cycling is not permitted on most trails in St. John's. Please follow posted signage and be respectful of one another.
