> As for the self righteousness of "only peds belong on sidewalks", It should be pretty clear that both car lanes and pedestrian paths are both unsafe for scooters. Add a bike path, just like e.g. The Netherlands, Denmark, etc. The bike path is generally designed for up to 25-30km/h. Certain scooters and electric bikes may go above that. In Netherlands scooters and electric bikes are divided into 2, ones which can reach up to 25km/h and ones which can reach up to 45km/h (above is not allowed). This with different regulation for each. There might be a case for adding yet another special path, e.g. scooter path for traffic up to 45km/h. Way more people can travel around on a bike path than a car lane (occupies more space while often just having 1 person).
