I agree with that. The problem is people. > 50% of the people I saw using the devices were on the sidewalk. And many of them that I conversed with (in a calm tone) who I told to use the street said "but it's too dangerous out there!" My retort that them being on the sidewalk was too dangerous for me fell on deaf ears.
- birdyrooster 4y agoJust yell at them and make being on the sidewalk more dangerous than the road. I throw shit in front of them or kick them off of their stupid looking scooter. Shows them. They won't try that shit in front of my home again. Best thing is that your jury will never find you guilty because that shit is annoying.

- taylodl 4y agoWhere I live it's illegal for adults to ride scooters (or bikes) on the sidewalk and thanks to everybody riding scooters on the sidewalk the police have begun enforcing the law. People don't want to ride the scooter in the street with traffic so scooter riding has dropped tremendously.
- e40 4y agoWhere I live, the police were told not to enforce the law to keep scooters off the sidewalk. Came from the mayor of Oakland, CA. I engaged with the Mayor's staff and they confirmed it, but soon after that they ghosted me. (Yes, I was always very polite.)
- rhaway84773 4y agoThe danger to pedestrians from 20lb scooters is very obviously a small fraction of the danger to scooters from 2ton cars. But that being said, if there isn’t sufficient bicycle lane infrastructure for the scooters to use then the city in question shouldn’t be allowing scooters in the first place. Neither roads with car traffic nor sidewalks are suitable places for them.
