The rule
Bicycles are prohibited on Interstate highways in Mississippi. Bicycles are prohibited on Mississippi Interstate highways (I-10, I-20, I-55, I-59, I-220) under Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) controlled-access regulations. Conventional US and state routes (US-49, US-61 Great River Road, MS-25) remain open to bicycles.
What this means in practice
Stick to surface streets, US routes, state highways, and dedicated paths. If your route in Mississippi appears to use an Interstate, plan a detour before you start.
