Full Breakdown

045, "Use of Skateboards," appears in Chapter 310, "Enforcement and Obedience To Traffic Regulations," part of the Title III traffic code. It reads in full: no person shall ride or use a skateboard in the streets, roads or highways or on the property of any shopping center located within the City limits. 040, which restricts roller skates and coasters to crosswalks, and it separately bans skateboarding on shopping-center property, which is the closest thing the code has to a business-district restriction. The ban is not limited to riding in traffic lanes; the shopping-center clause reaches parking lots, sidewalks and other property within a shopping center regardless of vehicle traffic.

047, the motorized-scooter rule that was updated by Ordinance No. 045 carries only its original 1980/1990 code citation. 080 general penalty, so a skateboarder passing between a shopping center and a City park is subject to two different sections depending on location. 045 itself carries no separate penalty clause, so enforcement again falls to the citywide general penalty.

Violations & Fines

Section 310.045 sets no penalty of its own, so a violation is punished under Section 100.080's general penalty: a fine of up to $1,000.00, up to three (3) months in the City or County Jail, or both, with each day of a continuing violation counted as a separate offense. Skateboarding within a City park is separately governed by Section 385.125.

Yes. The same Section 310.045 separately bans skateboard use on the property of any shopping center located within the City limits, covering parking lots and walkways as well as roadways serving the center.
What happens if you get caught skateboarding illegally in Florissant?
Section 310.045 carries no penalty of its own, so the general penalty in Section 100.080 applies: up to a $1,000.00 fine, up to three months in the City or County Jail, or both, with continuing violations counted day by day.
Does the street ban apply to skateboarding in City parks?
No, parks are handled separately. A cross-reference in the parks chapter shows skateboard use in City parks is governed by Section 385.125, with violators subject to removal from the park or the Section 100.080 general penalty.
