Section 1274. Riding on roadways, shoulders and lanes reserved for non-motorized vehicles and devices  


Latest version.
  • 1. Upon all roadways,  any  electric
      personal  assistive mobility device shall be operated either on a usable
      bicycle or in-line skate lane or, if a usable bicycle or  in-line  skate
      lane  has  not  been  provided,  near the right-hand curb or edge of the
      roadway or upon a usable right-hand shoulder in  such  a  manner  as  to
      prevent  undue  interference  with  the  flow  of  traffic  except  when
      preparing to enter into a crosswalk to turn  left  at  or  to  cross  an
      intersection or when reasonably necessary to avoid conditions that would
      make it unsafe to continue along near the right-hand curb or edge of the
      roadway.  Conditions to be taken into consideration include, but are not
      limited  to,  fixed  or  moving  objects,  vehicles,  bicycles,  in-line
      skaters,  pedestrians,  animals,  surface  hazards and traffic lanes too
      narrow for an electric personal assistive mobility device and a  vehicle
      to travel safely side-by-side within the lane.
        2. Persons operating electric personal assistive mobility devices upon
      a  roadway  shall  ride single file. Persons operating electric personal
      assistive mobility devices upon a shoulder,  bicycle  or  in-line  skate
      lane,  or  bicycle  or  in-line  skate  path,  intended  for  the use of
      bicycles, electric personal assistive mobility devices or in-line skates
      may ride two or more abreast if sufficient space  is  available,  except
      that  when  passing  a  vehicle,  bicycle,  electric  personal assistive
      mobility device, person on in-line  skates  or  pedestrian  standing  or
      proceeding along such shoulder, lane or path, persons operating electric
      personal assistive mobility devices shall operate such devices in single
      file.
        3. Any person operating an electric personal assistive mobility device
      who is entering the roadway from a private road, driveway, alley or over
      a curb shall come to a full stop before entering the roadway.
