Summary
In Logan City, Utah, a person on roller skates or riding a skateboard, coaster, toy vehicle or similar device stays off the roadway except to cross a street on a crosswalk, where pedestrian rights and duties apply. The city skatepark has its own rules in § 12.24.040, including dawn to dusk hours and a ban on bicycles and scooters.
A. No person upon roller skates or riding in or by means of any coaster, skateboard, toy vehicle or similar device, shall go upon any roadway except while crossing a street on a crosswalk; and when so crossing, such person shall be granted all of the rights and shall be subject to all of the duties applicable to pedestrians.
Full Breakdown
Logan Municipal Code § 10.12.060(A) keeps skaters off the roadway. No person upon roller skates or riding in or by means of any coaster, skateboard, toy vehicle or similar device shall go upon any roadway except while crossing a street on a crosswalk. When crossing, the skater is granted all of the rights and is subject to all of the duties applicable to pedestrians. The section was amended by Ord. 14-75 in 2014. It restricts the roadway; it does not mention sidewalks or business districts by name.
The skatepark is governed separately by § 12.24.040. Bicycles of any type, scooters, similar devices and motorized vehicles are prohibited in any skatepark facility owned or operated by the city. Skateboarders, roller skaters and in-line skaters skate at their own risk without city supervision, and helmets, kneepads, elbow pads and wrist guards are strongly recommended rather than required. Skaters must exercise extreme caution, respect other skaters and comply with all other city ordinances on public peace, morals and welfare.
The skatepark is open dawn to dusk unless otherwise posted, and skating before dawn or after dusk is unlawful. Glass containers, alcohol, tobacco products and drugs are unlawful in the tobacco and smoke free zone around the Logan Skate Park, Logan Aquatic Center and Fairview Park. Ramps, rails and other equipment not constructed as part of the skatepark may not be brought onto the premises, every user or spectator must report damage or a hazardous condition to the city, and organizing an event requires prior written approval from the director of parks and recreation or a designee. A person injured while violating the section is deemed negligent.
Violations & Fines
Under § 10.12.090 it is a misdemeanor to do any act forbidden by Title 10, with penalty provisions found in Chapter 1.16. Breaking the skatepark rules in § 12.24.040 is an infraction subject to citation (§ 12.24.040(K)). Anyone injured while failing to comply with the skatepark section is deemed negligent (§ 12.24.040(J)).
