Safely riding in Harvey

The Shire of Harvey is urging residents to become familiar with State Government e-Rideable guidelines. 

e-Rideables are single-person electric devices like scooters, skateboards or hoverboards that are not capable of travelling faster than 25km/h on level ground.

Persons under the age of 16 are not permitted to use e-Rideables unless they are on private property or places that aren't public roads or pathways.

It is illegal to ride on:

• roads with a dividing line
• roads where the speed limit is more than 50km/h
• any path designated ‘no wheeled devices’
• any path or road where a ‘no bicycle’ sign or marking applies.

When using a separated path, e-Rideables should use the bicycle part. It is illegal to ride in the section marked for pedestrians.

The community can learn more about e-Rideables on the Road Safety Commission website.
