Mountain View Municipal Code Art. IV Regulating the Use of City Trails

a. For purposes of this Article IV only, a trail is defined as a paved recreational amenity that serves a wide range of users, including, but not limited to, bicyclists, walkers, joggers, in-line skaters, children in strollers and people using mobility devices (such as wheelchairs) completely separated from any street or highway. This is distinct from a pathway within a park as referenced in Sec. 38.9 of the City Code.

b. The speed limit for any trail under this article shall not exceed fifteen (15) miles per hour, but in no instance shall the speed allowed be greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions then existing.

The use of electric-assist bicycles, electric scooters and electric skateboards, as defined by the California Vehicle Code, and skateboards, is permitted.

(Ord. No. 5.15, § 1, 6/23/15; Ord. No. 20.16, § 1, 12/13/16; Ord. No. 7.18, § 1, 6/12/18.)
