Shared scooter and bike rules, bike lane regulations, and curb-management programs.
Mobility & Curb Rules rules vary widely between U.S. cities and counties. What is permitted in one jurisdiction may carry fines or require permits in another. These differences matter whether you are a homeowner, renter, landlord, or business owner.
