Are Electric Scooters Legal in Memphis?
Updated on December 1st, 2023
In Memphis, individuals using electric scooters are required to adhere to the same rules and regulations that apply to bicycles. This means riding on the road, not the sidewalks, and using bike lanes where they exist. Traffic laws, such as stopping at red lights and stop signs, must be obeyed. Riders should also be predictable in their actions to ensure safety for themselves and for others. Pedestrians have the right of way, so scooter users must yield to them. When parking scooters, users are asked to do so in a manner that does not obstruct pedestrian pathways or access to businesses.
