Bicycle FAQ
Please avoid blocking sidewalks with vehicles. Residents use the sidewalks for early AM & PM walks/runs. Others may use bikes. It's very dangerous for a pedestrian to proceed into the street due to a blocked pedestrian right of way. Please avoid blocking sidewalks with vehicles or accumulated trash.
What is the Public Right of Way?
The public right of way is any public thoroughfare, such as a street, road or alley. It also usually includes the property within or adjacent to the thoroughfare, such as medians, utility poles, sidewalks and the area between the
first expansion joint in a driveway and the street. Some city codes are designated to keep the public right of way safe and free from obstructions, such as signs, and other traffic hazards.
If there is an obstruction that limits sight in a public right of way, Code Enforcement Officials may ask the property owner to remove the obstruction.

LEASH LAW/LOOSE PETS:
Dogs and livestock in the City of Austin and Travis County are required
by law to be safely leashed or confined on the owners’ property at all
times, except when a dog is in a designated leash-free area. Cats are
not required to be confined or leashed, so our officers do not pick up
roaming cats.
Animals running loose call 3-1-1
If a pet or livestock is wandering, unsupervised
and unleashed, in your area, please call 3-1-1 to make a report. If
possible, but without putting yourself at risk, please try to confine a
stray animal in a fenced yard or other enclosure to keep the animal
safe while an officer makes his/her way to the area.
