Relating to the definition of crosswalk for the purpose of motor vehicle collisions involving a pedestrian or other vulnerable road user within the area of a crosswalk.
SB 662 adds a definition for "electric personal assistive mobility device" (such as e-scooters and e-bikes) to Texas law. This clarifies that operators of these devices are explicitly included as "vulnerable road users" in motor vehicle collisions occurring within crosswalks. The bill does not change the existing definition of "crosswalk" but ensures these devices are covered under current crosswalk safety rules. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, directly affecting pedestrians, wheelchair users, and e-device operators in collision cases.
