Where the rules come from
Main municipal authorities for transit and bike lanes are the City of Green Bay municipal code and Green Bay Metro policy documents. The municipal code sets traffic powers and permits, while the transit agency publishes fare policy and boarding rules. See the municipal code and agency policy pages for authoritative text and procedures City code and ordinances[1], the Green Bay Metro transit page for fares and rider rules Green Bay Metro[2], and the City bicycle and pedestrian plan for lane design and maintenance standards Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan[3].
Common rules and on-street practice
- Bike lanes are designated for bicycle use and separated markings; parking or standing in marked bike lanes is typically prohibited under city traffic rules.
- Transit fares and transfer policies are set by the transit agency and may change by agency resolution or ordinance; fare categories commonly include adult, reduced, and passes.
- Enforcement may be carried out by parking control, police, or transit staff depending on the violation and location.
