The City of Camarillo wants residents to enjoy biking, jogging, inline skating, skate-
boarding and other outdoor activities safely and legally. In Camarillo you are legally permitted to ride, jog skate, etc., along all public streets so long as you follow traffic laws. Please note that the law requires pedestrians to travel against the flow of traffic. You are not however permitted to use roads or trails along river beds, flood control channels or areas other than public streets except for the following: |
• F Canyon
• Calleguas Creek
• Conejo Grade Trails
• Pleasant Valley Park
There is also a new asphalt trail connecting Camarillo and Oxnard along Ventura Blvd. near Central Avenue.
There are three different types of bikeways in Camarillo:
• Bike Paths are separate trail facilities away from the roadway;
• Bike Lanes are signed and striped lanes along the roadway; and
• Bike Routes area marked road with an adequate shoulder.
A map of the bikeways in Camarillo can be obtained from the Public Works Department at City Hall.
Information on area hiking spots can be found on the internet at the Ventura County Star’s website.
Please remember that as of 1994, California law requires bicycle riders under the age of 18 must wear a protective helmet while riding. In 2003, this law was expanded to included scooters, skates and skateboards. Please ensure your children are wearing their helmet and riding safely.
