<\/a>OVIEDO, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\nOviedo city leaders are considering new rules for bicycles, e-bikes, motorized scooters, skateboards and other micromobility devices.<\/p>\n
On Monday at the city council meeting, this proposed ordinance will be discussed. Mayor Megan Sladek said this conversation comes down to safety. <\/p>\n
“A lot of people around town are having conflicts on the sidewalks and public parks, public spaces, and not knowing how, how to interact with each other,” Sladek said. <\/p>\n
The ordinance would give pedestrians priority on sidewalks and shared-use paths. The ordinance would also limit bicycles, e-bikes and motorized scooters to 10 miles per hour on some sidewalks and shared-use paths. <\/p>\n
Children under the age of 16 would have to wear a bicycle helmet. <\/p>\n
The ordinance would also prohibit riders from wearing headphones or earbuds, except for hearing aids or similar devices. <\/p>\n
Violations could result in a warning or a fine of up to $50 for a first offense. A second violation within 12 months could bring a fine of up to $100. A third or subsequent violation within 12 months could result in a fine of up to $250.<\/p>\n
A memo online from the city said the ordinance would have no budget impact. Sladek said these rules would be a baseline until the county or state creates other regulations. <\/p>\n
“We just want to get something in place in the meantime until something more comprehensive and uniform is out there,” Sladek said. <\/p>\n
After Monday night’s discussion, a public hearing could be scheduled for Oct. 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oviedo considering new rules for e-bikes, scooters, including 10 mph cap OVIEDO, Fla. \u2014 Oviedo city leaders are…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":405756,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[29417,11398,37564,217,9099,108187,29041,139,141,140,5765,992,20730,24270,5212,133402,102326,7884],"class_list":["post-405755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-bicycle","tag-e-bike","tag-fine","tag-monday","tag-month","tag-new-rule","tag-ordinance","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-oviedo","tag-people","tag-scooter","tag-shared-use-path","tag-sidewalk","tag-similar-device","tag-sladek","tag-violation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/405755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=405755"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/405755\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/405756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=405755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=405755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=405755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
