The City of Cranbrook is stressing the importance of safety while using the Bird Canada e-scooters around town.
The scooters are open to the public for the season as part of a two-year pilot project.
Riders are required to follow all traffic laws, signs and signals.
E-Scooters fall under the Motor Vehicle Act and are treated like all other motorized vehicles.
Scooters are allowed in bike lanes, on roads with speed limit of 50 km/h or lower and on multi-use pathways.
Sidewalk use is not allowed.
Helmets are required and riders have to verify using the Bird Canada app.
Concerns or misuse can be reported to the app or by email at 311_cranbrook@birdcanada.co.
