PHOENIX — A state senator from Fountain Hills filed a bill aimed at putting a 15 MPH speed limit on sidewalks and multi-use paths for those riding any kind of bike.
Senator John Kavanagh (R) says the speed limit would be lowered to 5 MPH when passing other cyclists and pedestrians.
This would still apply to standard bikes as well as the popular e-bikes and e-scooters. Each Valley city is either crafting or has its own regulations for e-bikes and e-scooters.
If the bill becomes law, a police officer could give a civil traffic citation.
