244I Travelling on an electric personal transporter on a footpath or shared path or in a shared zone

(1) A person travelling on an electric personal transporter on a footpath or shared path must keep to the left of the footpath or shared path unless it is impracticable to do so.

(2) A person travelling on an electric personal transporter on a footpath or shared path or in a shared zone must give way to any pedestrian (except a person travelling on an electric personal transporter or in or on a wheeled recreational device or wheeled toy) who is on the footpath or shared path or in the shared zone.

1 Footpath is defined in the dictionary. Shared path is defined in rule 242.

2 For this rule, give way means the person must slow down and, if necessary, stop to avoid a collision—see the definition in the dictionary.

3 Bicycle riders on footpaths and shared paths are not required to give way to persons travelling on electric personal transporters—see rule 250(2).
