FROM FACEBOOK__ The Ada Police Department has received several complaints this year regarding the use of electric scooters, officially referred to by the State of Ohio as Electric Personal Assistive Mobility Devices.

We would like to remind our community of the laws outlined in Ohio Revised Code 4511.512:

• "Electric scooters" may be operated on sidewalks, bike paths, and roadways where the posted speed limit is under 55 mph

• Operators must follow all standard traffic laws and rules of the road

• Individuals under 18 years of age must wear a helmet

• Individuals under 16 years of age must be under the direct visual and audible supervision of someone 18 or older

• No person under the age of 14 is permitted to operate "Electric scooters".

These laws are in place to ensure the safety of both riders and the public. We encourage parents and guardians to review these guidelines with their children.

If you have safety concerns or would like to report an issue, please contact the Ada Police Department at 419-634-0010, option 1.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community safe.
