Cross streets in crosswalks only. Look left, then right, then left again before crossing. Obey all pedestrian control devices. Equip your scooter with a flag as drivers can see a flag before they see you. Wear bright colored clothing.
Reflective tape gives more visibility.
If we all learn to practice common sense and safety, moving about the streets will be easier for everyone. If one wheel runs up the sloping portion of the curbcut, you risk being tipped out. Move slowly on curbcut. Avoid construction areas or loading zones with trucks and equipment. Allow yourself plenty of time as you may need to take an alternate route.
