Ch. 2 Pedestrian Conduct — Practice

Question 1

A person operating a mobility scooter is subject to the same traffic rules as a pedestrian.

Accepted Answer

At the beginning of Chapter 2, Section 1 of the Rules of the Road, it states "The following people are subject to the same traffic rules as pedestrians," and the first category listed is "people operating mobility scooters." Therefore, people operating mobility scooters are subject to the same traffic rules as pedestrians.

Question 2

The length standard for mobility scooters is not exceeding 150 centimeters.

Accepted Answer

The standards for mobility scooters specify that "the length must not exceed 120 centimeters, the width must not exceed 70 centimeters, and the height excluding the head support must not exceed 120 centimeters." The length standard is 120 centimeters, not 150 centimeters.

Question 3

The speed standard for mobility scooters is that they must not be capable of exceeding 6 kilometers per hour.

Accepted Answer

Standard (3) for mobility scooters clearly states "must not be capable of exceeding a speed of 6 kilometers per hour." This speed limit is one of the important requirements for mobility scooters to be subject to the same traffic rules as pedestrians.

Question 4

A person walking while pushing a bicycle is subject to the same traffic rules as a pedestrian.

Accepted Answer

In item 7 of Chapter 2, Section 1 of the Rules of the Road, "people walking while pushing a large motorcycle, ordinary motorcycle, two-wheeled standard moped, special small motorized bicycle, or bicycle" are listed as people subject to the same traffic rules as pedestrians. Therefore, this statement is correct.

Question 5

A person operating a remotely operated small vehicle by remote control is subject to the same traffic rules as a pedestrian.

Accepted Answer

The Rules of the Road specify that "a person operating a remotely operated small vehicle without using remote control" is subject to the same traffic rules as a pedestrian. In other words, when operating by remote control, they are not treated as a pedestrian. Only when not using remote control does this apply.
