eScooterSafety at the Centre

We would like to remind the community of the current regulations around the use of eRideables.
eRideable use has increased around the Centre lately. While eRideables are not allowed inside the Centre, proper use of eRideablesis permitted on the Centre grounds under the Road Traffic Code.

eRideables are a type of vehicle, so all road laws that apply to vehicles apply to eRideables as well unless expressly excluded.

It is illegal to ride on:
roads and bicycle lanes where the speed limit is more than 50km/h
any path marked ‘no wheeled devices’
any path or road where a ‘no bicycle’ sign or marking applies.
When using a separated path, eRideables should use the bicycle part. It is illegal to ride in the section marked for pedestrians.

Keep to the speed limit. On footpaths and pedestrian crossings, this is 10km/h. On and bicycle paths, shared paths and local roads eRideables can be ridden up to 25km/h where safe.
One person per device. Never carry passengers or animals on your eRideable.
Wear a helmet. Any approved bicycle, skateboard or motorcycle helmet can be worn when riding an eRideable.
Hands on the wheel, not on your phone. Always have at least one hand on the handlebars (if fitted). Don’t be distracted by your mobile phone – the same rules apply to eRideables as to bikes, motorcycles and cars.
Don’t drink and ride. eRiders must maintain proper control of their eRideable device at all times and are subject to the same drink and drug driving laws as car drivers.
Put your eRideable somewhere safe. Never leave your eRideable on the road or path – it could get in the way of other users.

If you are using an eRideable on Centre property we ask that you follow these rules for the safety and wellbeing of all customers.
