– Only one person on a moped at a time. Another $97 ticket for the driver and passenger.
– If traffic is too fast get as far to the right as safely possible or drive in the bike lane. Remember safety first.
– Mopeds must be driven in a single file line.
– No moped is allowed on a sidewalk or any other area permitted solely for pedestrians.
Additional Recommendations:
– Always wear a helmet. It only takes one car not looking over there shoulder as they change lanes.
– Always wear closed-toed shoes and preferrably pants. Nothing else protecting you from some road rash.
