THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS LAYING DOWN SOME GROUND RULES FOR ELECTRIC SCOOTER OPERATORS NOW THAT ZAGSTER HAS SAID IT’LL BE BRINGING E-SCOOTERS TO ALBUQUERQUE. E-SCOOTERS ARE CLASSIFIED AS MOPED VEHICLES AND ARE SUBJECT TO TRAFFIC STOPS AND CITATIONS IF LAWS ARE BROKEN, INCLUDING NOT STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS.
E-SCOOTERS CAN BE RIDDEN IN BIKE LANES…AND ON SIDEWALKS IF THERE IS NO BIKE LANE…BUT THEY MUST BE THREE FEET FROM PEDESTRIANS. AND RIDING A SCOOTER WHILE DRUNK CAN RESULT IN A D-U-I CHARGE.
