Mobility & Curb Rules
Shared scooter and bike rules, bike lane regulations, and curb-management programs.
Shared scooters are governed less by ordinance than by contract. Cities cap fleets, draw no-ride and no-park zones, and set speed limits through the franchise agreements operators sign, with the code providing the frame.
E-bikes run on state vehicle law, the three-class system and where each may ride included, so a city page on the subject is honest only when it says so. What is left for the curb, painted-zone meanings, loading windows, residential permits, is unglamorous and decides daily life anyway.
