The city wants to see electric wheelchairs, electric skateboards, mopeds and other devices allowed on streets and in the bike and roll lane network
Victoria council is pushing to expand the mobility devices allowed on streets and bike lanes, a week after opting into a provincial pilot project that will allow electric kick scooters to legally travel on Victoria’s bike lanes starting in April.
Coun. Jeremy Caradonna said it’s time for the Motor Vehicle Act and regulations to catch up with reality.“I do believe that given that they’re already on the roads, it does make sense to bring some safety and some standards and some regulation.” “Sidewalks are not safe,” he said, noting that apart from pedestrians, there are myriad obstructions to negotiate such as utility poles, sign posts, driveway-cut slopes and heaving pavement.
