Subsection A requires anyone riding a skateboard on a sidewalk to yield the right of way to pedestrians and give an audible signal before overtaking and passing them. " Subsection C bans night riding without lights: a skateboarder on a public street or sidewalk after dark, defined as one-half hour after sunset, must carry reflective material visible from 500 feet in headlamp beams or a lighted lamp visible from 500 feet in both directions.
Subsection D is a flat ban on riding a skateboard, or a bicycle or roller skates, on the sidewalks, steps or ramps of any city property, regardless of time of day. The chapter's enforcement section, 7-2-7, makes any violation of Chapter 2 an infraction rather than a criminal offense, cross-referencing the citywide sentencing schedule at Lehi City Code Section 1-4-1. Separately, Section 7-2-4 bars a skateboard rider from grabbing onto a moving vehicle ("no person riding a bicycle, coaster, skateboard, roller skates, sled or toy shall hold or attach the same on himself or herself to any vehicle upon a roadway"), a hazard specific to skate riders that officers cite alongside 7-2-3 stops.
Violations & Fines
A violation of Section 7-2-3 is an infraction under Section 7-2-7. Lehi City Code Section 1-4-1(D)(2) caps an infraction fine at $750, and Section 1-4-1(C) confirms an infraction carries no jail time, only a fine, forfeiture or disqualification. Each posted-sign violation or after-dark riding stop is charged and cited separately by the Lehi Police Department.
