Key Biscayne Police Issue 100+ Citations for Rickenbacker Causeway Cycling Violations

Key Biscayne residents have voiced numerous concerns regarding large cycling pelotons on the Rickenbacker Causeway. In response, the Village of Key Biscayne Police Department is actively collaborating with The Miami Dade Sheriff's Office to address these issues.

The Causeway remains a popular destination for cyclists, offering scenic views and a challenging route. However, ensuring the safe use of roadways for everyone, including cyclists, motorists, and pedestrians, is a top priority for local law enforcement.

The Village of Key Biscayne Police Department partnered with neighboring law enforcement agencies to conduct targeted enforcement and education details. These efforts focused particularly on peak morning cycling hours. Officers aimed to educate both cyclists and drivers, improve compliance with traffic laws, and take enforcement action when violations occurred.

Since early June, officers issued more than 100 citations for traffic and roadway safety violations. These enforcement efforts will continue as authorities work to improve safety and promote responsible roadway use for all.

Police remind cyclists to use designated bicycle lanes whenever possible, obey all applicable state and local laws, and ride in a safe and courteous manner. Motorists should remain alert, exercise patience, and share the road responsibly. The Village of Key Biscayne Police Department remains committed to working with partners and the community to ensure the Causeway remains safe and enjoyable for everyone.
