As much some cities are struggling to figure out how to regulate them I think my city has basically nailed it first try. Give a license or two to certain companies to allow their scooters and other wise just use them like bikes. Keep them off side walks that are for pedestrians and otherwise use bike lanes. Just makes sense.
- jseliger 7y agoYou really need to scrap the massive subsidies that incur to cars via free or nearly free parking in many cities: https://www.city-journal.org/html/high-cost-free-parking-14665.html https://www.city-journal.org/html/high-cost-free-parking-146.... This will lead to an incredible surplus of space for smaller vehicles; it's often easy to fit 6 - 18 of them in a give space currently legally mandated for cars.
- notatoad 7y ago>Keep them off side walks that are for pedestrians and otherwise use bike lanes. this makes the assumption that your city has a functional bike lane network, which is the problem in a lot of cities. If you have bike lanes, it's really easy. If you don't have bike lanes, suddenly you have this friction where there's suddenly a whole lot more people trying to use the streets but not in a car.
