Laws governing the operation of bicycles, motor scooters (electric or gas powered), skateboards, and other modes of transportation on public streets, highways, and roads vary from state to state, and among cities and towns (municipal ordinances).
Some of the important laws governing these alternative modes of transportation include proper roadways and lanes for operation; speed limits; required safety precautions (helmets, etc.); application of traffic laws; license requirements; and the application of laws regarding being under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
