Signalized intersections have left turn arrows for motorists and special signals for bicyclists.

The use of roadway features like the green paint on Third Street is regulated by the Federal Highway Administration.

A bike sculpture mounted at the civic center proclaims Long Beach to be the most bicycle friendly city in the United States, a distinction others attribute to Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Portland, Oregon.
