Do you have any questions or uncertainties? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verkehrsschule.ch\/kontakt\/\">Do not hesitate to contact him<\/a>\u00a0for accurate information.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]New forms of mobility in road traffic are becoming increasingly popular, especially means of transportation, such as e-scooters or devices that are powered exclusively by the user&#8217;s own physical strength. These vehicle-like devices (f\u00e4G) are equipped with either wheels or castors. Popular and well-known devices include skateboards, scooters, kickboards, and inline skates.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pedestrians are confronted with new risk factors on the sidewalk and on neighbourhood streets; many of these e-scooters and f\u00e4Gs can be found seemingly at random on all traffic paths. Furthermore, rented e-scooters are often left on the street or sidewalk after use, and in some cases, people drive and park wherever it suits them. It is time to take a closer look at some facts and rules regarding f\u00e4G.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The most important facts regarding f\u00e4G as a means of transport<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They are allowed on all traffic paths intended for pedestrians (e.g., sidewalks), with pedestrians having the right of way.<\/li>\n<li>Riding in bicycle lanes is allowed.<\/li>\n<li>Cycling on the roadway in speed 30 zones and pedestrian zones is allowed.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0They are prohibited on main roads and when there is a pedestrian or pedestrian-only ban.<\/li>\n<li>Pedestrians are allowed to cross the pedestrian crossing, but they do not have the right of way.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0At night and in poor visibility, riders must have a white light on the front and a red light on the back of their body or device.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Useful information about e-scooters<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The scooter may only be ridden on bicycle lanes or cycling paths. Riding on sidewalks is prohibited.<\/li>\n<li>The maximum speed must not exceed 20 km\/h.<\/li>\n<li>E-scooters may only be ridden without restriction from the age of 16 years or from the age of 14 years with a moped permit.<\/li>\n<li>Pedestrian crossings may not be crossed while driving the e-scooter.<\/li>\n<li>Although it is not compulsory to wear a helmet, it is recommended to protect oneself with a helmet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>F\u00e4G and E-Trottinette are sometimes difficult to steer and brake. Therefore, you must adjust your speed and driving style to your abilities. What concerns all other road users also concerns you: drive with foresight and always be ready to brake.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Signals:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;16432&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;16430&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>Prohibition for vehicle-like devices<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The signal &#8220;Prohibition for vehicle-like devices&#8221; prohibits the use of vehicle-like devices.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69e5dc515ff87\" data-id=\"69e5dc515ff87\" data-height=\"50\" data-height-mobile=\"50\" data-height-tab=\"50\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]<strong>Prohibition for pedestrians (Art. 19)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The signal &#8220;Prohibition for pedestrians&#8221; prohibits access for pedestrians and users of vehicle-like devices.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>F\u00e4G and e-scooter are difficult to steer and brake.
