B. Where the trail system is provided and its use is practicable, it shall be unlawful for any person to operate an allowed vehicle along and upon an adjacent roadway within the City at a speed which is so slow as to impede the flow of traffic on the roadway.
C. No person shall operate an allowed vehicle on the path system at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing. Consistent with the foregoing, every person shall operate an allowed vehicle on the trail system at a safe and appropriate speed on approaching and crossing an intersection, when approaching and going around a curve, when approaching a hillcrest, when proceeding down a hill, when traveling upon a winding section of the trail system, and when special hazards exist with respect to pedestrians or other traffic or by reason of weather or other conditions of the trail system. No person shall operate an allowed vehicle on the path system at a speed greater than twenty (20) miles per hour. Appropriate speed limit signage as determined by the City Police and Streets Departments shall be installed.
D. Electric power-assisted bicycles ("E-bikes") shall be allowed to operate on the City trail system, provided operation of an E-bike is in accordance with regulations provided in this chapter. An E-bike shall be defined as a vehicle having two (2) tandem wheels or two (2) parallel wheels and one forward wheel, any two (2) of which, are not less than twelve inches (12") in diameter and is designed to be operated by human power with the assistance of an electric motor that has a power output of not more than seven hundred fifty watts (750 W) and disengages or ceases to function when the vehicle's brakes are applied.
E. Use of alternative electric motored vehicles (vehicles with the assistance of an electric motor that has a power output of not more than 750 watts) shall be allowed to operate on the City trail system, provided operation of an electric motored vehicle is in accordance with regulations provided in this chapter.
F. Use of wheelchairs and manually-powered mobility aides by individuals with mobility disabilities such as would qualify the user to obtain an Idaho State handicap parking permit or otherwise allowed under the Americans With Disabilities Act shall be permitted on the City trail system. The term "wheelchair" is defined as a manually-operated or power-driven device designed primarily for use by an individual with a mobility disability for the main purpose of indoor or of both indoor and outdoor locomotion.
