Montebello, CA Public Conduct: Skateboarding Rules (2026)

Section 10.64.060 sits in Chapter 10.64, the city's bicycle chapter, but reaches beyond bicycles to cover anyone mounted on roller skates or riding a coaster, toy vehicle, skateboard or similar device. The rule bars that use in three settings: any roadway anywhere in the city, any sidewalk located within a business district, and any place within the grounds of the civic center complex, a public building, or a city park. Outside those three zones, such as a residential sidewalk, the section does not reach the activity.

The provision traces to the city's 1991 traffic ordinance codification (Ordinance 2058) and carries forward prior code Section 3202.22 unchanged. It sits alongside the chapter's other rider-safety rules: Section 10.64.040 requires a bicyclist on the roadway to ride within five feet of the curb, and Section 10.64.050 bars carrying a passenger on a bicycle's handlebars, bar or tank. Because Chapter 10.64 falls under Title 10, Vehicles and Traffic, enforcement runs through the same police traffic-citation process used for other moving-vehicle infractions in the code, rather than through a separate parks or recreation ordinance.
