Where are personal transportation devices allowed to be used?

Personal transportation devices, such as electric scooters or bicycles, are allowed to be used on roadways where specific signs indicate that their use is permitted. This regulation helps to ensure the safety of both the operators of these devices and other road users by clearly defining where these devices can be operated legally.

Using these devices on highways or roadways with no speed limits may pose significant safety risks, as these areas are typically designed for faster-moving vehicles that can create dangerous conditions for slower personal transportation devices. Similarly, restricting their use only to residential areas does not consider locations where they may safely coexist with vehicle traffic or pedestrians, provided signage allows for it. Thus, the best practice is for such devices to be utilized where signage has been posted indicating their acceptable use, promoting a structured and safer environment for all road users.
