Rules Committee · 2026-08-31 · agenda_item

This item proposes changes to the Jacksonville Traffic Code, specifically Chapter 804, concerning electric bicycles. The proposed amendments aim to define electric bicycles in line with state law, ensure they follow traffic rules, and set specific regulations for their use. These include a 10 MPH speed limit on sidewalks, age restrictions for operators, mandatory helmet use for younger riders, and prohibitions against unsafe operation. Violations would be classified as a Class C offense. This item is currently pending review by the Rules Committee. While no construction is involved, the changes could lead to future needs for signage, public information campaigns, and potentially enforcement equipment or services. Businesses involved in traffic safety, signage, or public education might find opportunities as these regulations are finalized and implemented.
