I’ll get to the practicalities of this in a moment. If there are no sidewalks, the skateboarder should travel in the left lane of the road, facing traffic, and move off the roadway for oncoming cars.
Pedestrians (including skateboarders) are required to used sidewalks rather than the roadway unless there are no sidewalks. Can they use bicycle lanes? What about being on a roadway where there are no bicycle lanes? Because skateboarders fit into the classification of pedestrian, they are not allowed to use bicycle lanes.So let’s go through the questions within the original question and see what’s required for skateboarders. The legislators expand ed the traditional definition of a pedestrian (a person who travels by foot) and include d “ means of conveyance propelled by human power other than a bicycle.” (RCW 46.04.400) Whether you’re on a skateboard, roller skates, pogo stick or a red wagon, you’re a pedestrian in the eyes of the law. That’s because skateboards actually fit into the definition of pedestrians in Washington’s traffic laws. The first is that it’s hard to even find any state laws specifically about skateboards. Q: What are the Rules for skateboarders? Can they (should they?) use bicycle lanes? What about being on a roadway where there are no bicycle lanes? Do they need to obey traffic signals & signs? Should vehicles yield to them, as we do for pedestrians? Thank you for any hints & tips you can provide.Ī: There are a couple issues that complicate our understanding with where skateboarders fit into the transportation spectrum.
