Sidewalk
Many people are getting frustrated and angry at people on mobility scooters since they often drive down the
sidewalk wrecklessly sometimes bumping into people and other times scaring pedestrians.

In many cities there are no explicit rules yet that govern the operation of electric mobility scooters on streets or
sidewalks so people aren't clear how to ride safely and are running into pedestrians or getting hit by
automobiles.
Here is a handy rule to use when there are no other rules available:
|
"Riding on the street you have to obey the same rules as cars"
"Riding on the sidewalks you have to obey the same rules as pedestrians"
|
That means riding at slower speeds around congested pedestrian areas, and following the rules of the road as if you were
riding a bicycle on the street.
