Practically anything can be dangerous to anything. I almost got poked in the eye by an umbrella yesterday - perhaps those should be banned as well?
Instead of yet another regulation on the books, why not just punish those individuals that actually cause injury to others, using the already existing mechanisms for doing so? That way the individuals who can navigate down a sidewalk without harming others can be left in peace.
- techiferous 17y agoI live in Boston without a car. My daily "commute" and my "trips around town" are all on the sidewalk. My sidewalk is analogous to your road. Some sidewalks are very crowded and sometimes there are small traffic jams (a group of people walking slowly that I can't get around). I would not welcome segways on crowded sidewalks. The road analogy would be huge double-wide trucks traveling about 100 mph on your daily interstate commute. Ignore the danger--the comparison is to how annoying it would be.
