(a) The Commissioner of Transportation is authorized to designate a low-speed electric mobility device parking space or rack on the public way, if the Commissioner determines that establishing such parking space or rack: (i) will not create hazards in the use of the public way by vehicular or pedestrian traffic; (ii) will not impede the safe and efficient flow of traffic upon the public way on which the parking space or rack is proposed; and (iii) will benefit and convenience the public. The Commissioner of Transportation shall designate low-speed electric mobility device parking spaces or racks by appropriate signs or roadway markings or both, as applicable. It shall be unlawful to park a vehicle other than a low-speed electric mobility device, or bicycle as provided in Section 9-52-070(b), in any low-speed electric mobility device parking space that the Commissioner has designated by appropriate signs or markings.
(b) No person shall park a low-speed electric mobility device on the public way except:
(1) in any parking space or against any rack designated for such purpose by the Commissioner of Transportation; or
(2) against a rack, parking meter or sign pole to support the low-speed electric mobility device.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the provisions of Title 9 of this Code that apply to the operation and parking of bicycles shall also apply to the operation and parking of low-speed electric mobility devices.
