What changes are needed in electric scooter/bike laws to ensure safety and fairness for all road users?

Whenever I'm off to work, I take my e-scooter for a spin around the neighborhood. As I zipped along, enjoying my trip down Main Street, I quickly realized how few designated bike lanes exist in many areas, it's mostly only available at the park. Cars sped past me, leaving little space to navigate safely. It made me reflect on our challenges as electric scooter riders, sharing the road with larger vehicles and pedestrians alike.

The Need for Common Sense Laws

To ensure everyone's safety, there are a few common-sense laws that should be considered:

1. Speed Limits: A maximum speed of 10mph for e-scooters and e-bikes on sidewalks can greatly reduce the risk of collisions with pedestrians. It's important to prioritize safety over speed in crowded areas.
