I would like to remind our bicycle, electric bike, and electric scooter riders of the city ordinance.

No person shall ride with another person on the handlebars or any position in front of the operator.

 Every person riding shall observe all traffic rules and regulations.  This includes not to ride faster than what is reasonable and proper. This also includes yielding to pedestrians. 

 Every person riding 1/2 hour after sunset and 1/2 hour before sunrise shall have a headlight that is visible 500 feet to the front and a yellow or red light reflector that is visible 500 feet from the rear. 

Have a good summer and ride safely!

Make it Click

With the end of the school year and summer approaching more people travel to see family, friends and take vacations. The Falls City Police Department is reminding all drivers of the importance of seatbelt and child restraint use.

“Make it Click” is a national mobilization and is about saving lives. In 2021 more than one person on average died per (11,813 total) in vehicle crashes while not wearing seatbelts. 

“Make it Click” is a national mobilization from May 15, 2026 through May 31, 2026.  During this mobilization, Falls City Police Officers, along with other Law Enforcement Agencies will be conducting HIGH SATURATION PATROLS, focusing on seatbelt and child restraint use.  Officers will have a ZERO TOLERANCE approach to seatbelt violations. We are encouraging everyone to take two seconds to “Make it Click”. Buckling up is more than just a great idea -IT’S THE LAW. 

The Falls City Police Department thanks our citizens and community partners for their continuing support and reminds everyone to BUCKLE UP, EVERY TRIP, EVERY TIME!

Public Notice

The Falls City Police Department has recently received inquiries into the legality in the operation of e-bikes and Motor-Driven cycles on public streets by both children and adults. Nebraska state statute allows for the operation of e-bikes (which have fully operative pedals) on public streets while following the same rules of the road as a bicycle. The Motor-Driven cycles, which include electric motor scooters and electric motorcycles are in most cases classified as a motorcycle or minibike are either not allowed to operate on public streets, or may operate on public streets with the proper licensing and registration. 

If you have a questions please feel free to contact the Falls City Police Department at 402-245-4422.

Plows will soon be out clearing the snow! To make it easier for plows to pass (and to avoid a parking ticket) vehicles should be parked on the SOUTH and WEST sides of the streets.
