Relating to: use of skateboards on roadways.
AB 522 clarifies rules for skateboard and in-line skate use on public roads. It establishes that riders must follow safety rules (e.g., riding carefully, not attaching to vehicles) and prohibits use on certain roadways without local permission. Local governments gain authority to restrict skateboard use on their streets via ordinance, while still allowing crosswalk crossings. The bill also updates legal definitions to exclude skateboards from "recreational vehicles" and prohibits towing them. These changes directly affect skateboard users, municipalities, and road safety regulations.
