Electric scooters on sidewalks

From "Street Safety Concerns"

Go to the project

In the last week I have barely escaped being smooshed by guys on scooters/skateboards speeding up the sidewalk. Walking out of my gate onto east Orange, I jumped out of the way of a scooter going (my estimate) 25 mph on the sidewalk. No brakes. He was closely followed by a second at the same speed. A few days later I was inches from a skate boarder rounding a corner at Orange and Duke. This is SO DANGEROUS to pedestrians, increased by the fact that they make little sound, and seems to be more and more prevalent.

Agree! Electric bikes and scooters on the sidewalks are extremely dangerous and it doesn’t appear that the police are doing much to stop this.
