6-13-10: RIDING UPON SIDEWALKS AND UPON AND WITHIN CROSSWALKS:

A.   A bicycle, E-bike, or E-scooter may be operated upon a sidewalk and upon and within a crosswalk, except where prohibited by official traffic control devices, or when the number of pedestrians using the sidewalk renders riding on the sidewalk unsafe because of the risk of colliding with pedestrians, in which case    the operator of a bicycle, E-bike, or E-scooter must dismount and walk the bicycle, E-bike, or E-scooter to an area where safe riding may resume.

   B.   Any operator of a bicycle, E-bike, or E-scooter riding upon a sidewalk, or across a road way upon and within a crosswalk, shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian and shall give an audible warning before overtaking and passing such pedestrian. The audible warning may be given by the voice or by a bell or other lawful device capable of giving an audible signal to the person or persons being overtaken and passed.

   C.   Any operator of a bicycle, E-bike, or E-scooter riding upon a sidewalk, or across a roadway upon and within a crosswalk, shall have all the rights and duties applicable to a pedestrian under the same circumstances.

   D.   Any operator of a bicycle, E-bike, or E-scooter riding on the sidewalk shall not suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and move into the path of a vehicle that is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard. (Ord. 28-18, 8-21-2018)
