List of Los Angeles bike paths

Los Angeles County's Class I Bike Paths are explicitly defined in Chapter 1000 of the Highway Design Manual (HDM) published by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) as paths that are completely separate from traffic.[1] These are distinct from Class II Bike Lanes (on-street marked bike lanes) and Class III Bike Routes (a street with signs denoting that it is a bicycle route; the street may also have sharrows.) These bike paths are uncovered by any warranties as to fitness for safe cycling. This is in direct contrast to ordinary city streets. There are two pieces of case law which establish this clearly, one of them being Prokop v. City of Los Angeles.[2]

It is legal in Los Angeles to ride on sidewalks as long as riders do not show "wanton disregard" for the safety of other sidewalk users.[3] In California, when mounted and riding on the road, cyclists are required to "behave like vehicles" when it comes to obeying signals, signage, and lane restrictions.[4]
