Use of bicycles and micromobility devices (nonmotorized and motorized).

(1) Bicycles and motorized and nonmotorized micromobility devices may be ridden any where vehicles are permitted. It shall be a violation of this section for any device operator to fail to yield to pedestrians, or to ride on paths, sidewalks, or streets where it is indicated as prohibited (i.e., signs, in-app technology, on-site measures). Pedestrians always have the right of way. An audible signal or warning must be given by the operator whenever there is any appreciable risk of injury to a pedestrian not otherwise aware of the presence of the device.
(2) All devices shall be operated in a controlled and safe manner at all times. Riding at speeds too fast for conditions, weaving in and out of vehicular or pedestrian traffic, or similar unsafe actions shall be considered "negligent riding." Negligent riding shall be a violation of this section.
(3) Any use of devices that poses a risk to other individuals or university property is strictly prohibited. Moving or riding a device into any unauthorized area such as a building, restricted access zone, or parking garage is prohibited.
(4) Bicycles and micromobility devices operated on campus shall be subject to all relevant state and local statutes regulating bicycle use. Violation of those statutes shall be considered a violation of this section.
