Paul O'Leary asked <Don't state traffic laws, that define a bicycle as a vehicle, and the fact that pedestrians using public land is a right and not a privilege, trump any county or township attempt at restricting these rights/privileges further?>
State Statutes give local communities the authority to ban bicycles from roads under their jurisdiction after holding a public hearing. 349.23 Authority to designate bicycle lanes and bicycle ways. (3) The governing body of any city, town, village or county may by ordinance prohibit the use of bicycles and motor bicycles on a roadway over which they have jurisdiction, after holding a public hearing on the proposal.
