City posts scooter rules

In response to resident questions about motor scooters, the city has

posted scooter rules on its Web site, o7

www.city.newport-beach.ca.us/f7 . The information, located under the

“Current News” pull-down menu from the main page, includes all city

regulations governing motorized scooters. For example, scooter users must

be 16 years of age, wear a bicycle helmet and ride on a street next to

the right curb, or in a bike lane.

“We were getting a lot of requests about scooters, and our Web site is

the easiest, most convenient way to get the information out to as many

people as possible,” Newport Beach Police Department Sgt. Steve Shulman

said.
