In the event sidewalks are used for bicycles as well as pedestrians, whether designated a Class I bike path or not, the regulations of Chapter 373
apply.
(c) A "Class II bike lane" utilizes existing or proposed roadways and is a part of the roadway. It provides a right of way for exclusive or semi-exclusive use of bicycles, and is separated from motorized traffic by painted lines, curbing, barriers, pavement markings or signs.
