The District’s disabled residents are free to ride their Segways on downtown sidewalks without fear of being ticketed by police, the D.C. Council decided.
City law prohibits Segways, deemed by the D.C. Code to be a “personal mobility device,” on sidewalks within the Central Business District, bounded by 23rd Street NW to the west, Massachusetts Avenue to the north, Second Street NE to the east, and D Street to the south. The council on Tuesday adopted this caveat to the statute: “unless operated by a person with a disability.”
