Hrm.... It would be quite Ridiculous to be making or hinting of the making of laws to prevent segways in an area where it can harm people.......
Here In NYC Bikers Are to ride in the street traveling in the same direction of traffic. All bikers must have reflectors, helmets and all the other safety stuff (not really enforced that much) Bikers may ride in bike lanes that have been painted on the street. Bikers may not ride on sidewalks ---- also not strictly enforced
The Mini Scooters - and Full length motor scooters belong in the streets where the cars are with a person no older then 18 with a valid permit / drivers license.... The types of vehicles are very noisy and very questionable about its safety ------ vehicles like these need to follow the rules of the road
Segways ---- Should be allowed to operate where ever it wants, simply because A) there are different keys designating different speeds or my term driving modes B) they have less of a chance of falling over and hurting someone if dismounted (thanks to all the fancy dancy gyros inside =) C) there hasn't been any complaints or segway accidents or its noise polution --- which is very very low If anything The only law to go against the segway is that a lights / reflectors to be installed for round the clock use so that drivers may see you in the ever so changing weather
Segway has been out for what 2 somewhat yrs now and I still haven't heard a renegade segway..... This is all a belated April Fools Day Hoax
