ROAD SAFETY ROAD RULES 2017 - REG 244I

Travelling on an electric personal transporter on a footpath or shared path or in a shared zone

    (1)     A person travelling on an electric personal transporter on a footpath or shared path must keep to the left of the footpath or shared path unless it is impracticable to do so.

Penalty:     3 penalty units.

    (2)     A person travelling on an electric personal transporter on a footpath or shared path or in a shared zone must give way to any pedestrian (except a person travelling on an electric personal transporter or in or on a wheeled recreational device or wheeled toy) who is on the footpath or shared path or in the shared zone.

Penalty:     3 penalty units.

Notes

1     Footpath is defined in the dictionary. Shared path is defined in rule 242.

2     For this rule, "give way" means the person must slow down and, if necessary, stop to avoid a collision—see the definition in the dictionary.

3     Bicycle riders on footpaths and shared paths are not required to give way to persons travelling on electric personal transporters—see rule 250(2).
