Vehicle Laws - Stopping, Standing, or Parking in a Bike Lane or Bicycle Path - Prohibition

SB 133 prohibits drivers from stopping, standing, or parking any vehicle in a bike lane or bicycle path. This bill directly affects drivers who might use designated bike lanes for parking, as well as local enforcement agencies responsible for traffic violations. The key provision (added as Section 21-1003(gg) in Maryland’s transportation code) explicitly bans these actions, applying to all vehicles on public roads. The law takes effect October 1, 2025, and amends existing vehicle traffic statutes to clarify this restriction.
