I completely agree with this. People have been badly injured, both pedestrians and scooter riders themselves. Scooters and bikes belong on the street with the riders wearing reflective jacket and lights even during the day. It’s a mistake making it illegal but not enforcing.
It should be legal, and registered and bike lanes marked on all streets with an
enforced speed limit of 10 mph

This is great that awareness is being raised.

The question is if the people who have the ability to make a change, the parents of these boys and the schools are reading this.

Thank you so much for raising awareness to this.

I am scared stiff to walk on the sidewalk.

And I thought it was only me…

You know how us older people can be — bending over backwards to accept changes around us that we should probably not be accepting.

Thank you in advance to whomever can do something about this.

Where has common curiosity gone?
What ever happened to ‘stay to the right”?
I’m walking on the sidewalk and there’s a barricade of 5, 6 or 7 boys or girls or even adults walking in a group, who expect me, a senior, to step into the grassy patch because they refuse to leave room for someone to pass.
Or when a group of men move right and left, graciously?!? surrounding me on either side as they pass, with no consideration that they just created a situation of one woman walking in the same direction between two men.
We are all so concerned about the matzav in Eretz Israel that sidewalk etiquette seems trivial.
So if you feel that it’s trivial, then please, let this be your easy act of kindness for the safety and integrity of our brothers and sisters in Israel.
It’s such a small thing, that surely you can always move to the right so that people walking in the other direction can also walk to their right, no one blocking the sidewalk, no scooters or bikes endangering other people. Thank you for listening

I’m a senior citizen and I feel scared by these e-scooters and sometimes mini motor bikes on the sidewalks in droves at times. What will it take to wake up those who are in positions of responsibility in the community to take positive action in this direction. Must we have a calamity hash V’Shalom occur first? Then they can say they didn’t realize the reality. Should save zones be installed for vulnerable people I wonder?
