§  1284.  Riding  on  roadways,  shoulders,  and  lanes  reserved  for
  non-motorized vehicles and devices. 1. Upon all roadways,  any  electric
  scooter  shall  be  operated either on a usable bicycle or in-line skate
  lane or, if a  usable  bicycle  or  in-line  skate  lane  has  not  been
  provided,  near  the  right-hand  curb  or edge of the roadway or upon a
  usable right-hand  shoulder  in  such  a  manner  as  to  prevent  undue
  interference  with  the flow of traffic except when preparing for a left
  turn or when reasonably necessary to avoid conditions that would make it
  unsafe to continue along near the right-hand curb or edge. Conditions to
  be taken into consideration include, but are not limited  to,  fixed  or
  moving   objects,   vehicles,  bicycles,  in-line  skates,  pedestrians,
  animals, surface hazards or  traffic  lanes  too  narrow  for  a  person
  operating   an   electric   scooter  and  a  vehicle  to  travel  safely
  side-by-side within the lane.
2. Persons operating electric  scooters  upon  a  roadway  shall  ride
  single  file.  Persons  operating  electric  scooters  upon  a shoulder,
  bicycle or in-line skate lane, or bicycle or in-line skate path intended
  for the use of bicycles, in-line skates or electric  scooters  may  ride
  two  or  more abreast if sufficient space is available, except that when
  passing a vehicle, bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device,
  person on in-line skates or pedestrian standing or proceeding along such
  shoulder, lane  or  path,  persons  operating  electric  scooters  shall
  operate such scooters single file.
3.  Any person operating an electric scooter who is entering a roadway
  from a private road, driveway, alley or over a curb shall come to a full
  stop before entering the roadway.
