ICYMI: Dockless Vehicles Like Scooters Could Come Back to Dallas by October
These rules restrict the number of vehicles and where they can be used and stored. Under the proposed rules, you can’t ride them in public parks or plazas, on the State Fair of Texas grounds or on the sidewalks. In other words, you’d be able to use them only on the road, which isn’t too comforting considering the city’s track record on pedestrian safety.
One problem with dockless vehicles has been where they end up. Some riders would ditch them in inconvenient locations, like the middle of the sidewalk, lying on their side. That's why users will now be required to take a photo of the vehicle when they’re done with it to ensure it was parked correctly. If it wasn’t, the user could face a $20 fine. Operators will also have to provide designated parking areas for their vehicles.
He said he supports the dockless vehicle parking rules, but told the Department of Transportation: “We continue to have vehicles, trucks and cars parked on our Dallas downtown city sidewalks. If we’re going to have these same rules and implementations for our scooters, we need to do the same thing with our vehicles that are illegally parked, obstructing our [Americans with Disabilities Act] access points and our sidewalks, especially in our urban core.
