1. (1) In areas where designated bicycle paths are provided, a bicycle may only be ridden in such designated bicycle paths. Where bicycle paths are not available for reaching a particular location, a bicycle may be ridden upon roadways and pedestrian sidewalks to reach such areas. However, the University may identify and by appropriate signage designate some locations in which bicycle riding is prohibited either permanently or during certain time periods, such as by restricting bicycle riding on certain highly congested pedestrian walkways during designated periods. A bicycle rider shall comply with all official traffic control devices and signs, including posted signs prohibiting riding in a particular designated location. A bicycle rider may dismount and walk the bicycle rider's bicycle across any pedestrian accessible area in which bicycling riding is prohibited.

2. (2) A skateboard, scooter, rollerskates, or other non-motorized riding device other than a bicycle may only be ridden upon designated bicycle paths and pedestrian pathways. Riding uch devices on roadways or in parking lots is strictly prohibited at all times because the University has determined that such uses would present unacceptable risks of injury to riders and other users, and unacceptable impeding of motor vehicle traffic in such areas. Also, the University may identify and by appropriate signage designate certain areas in which riding of any particular type of non-motorized device is prohibited. For example, the University may designate certain pedestrian pathways as off-limits for skateboard riding because risks of personal injury are heightened due to steep grades or congestion. A person riding such a non-motorized riding device shall comply with all official

   traffic control devices and signs including posted signs prohibiting riding in a particular designated location. A device user may dismount and carry the user's device across any pedestrian accessible area in which riding of such devices is prohibited.

3. (3) A non-motorized riding device, of any type, may not be ridden upon any stairway, wall, bench, fountain, or other structure or facility, or on or over landscaping, shrubbery, grass or flower beds. Such devices may not be ridden within any building or parking structure.
4. (4) A person riding a non-motorized riding device in any pedestrian accessible area shall yield the right of way to pedestrians at all times.
5. (5) A person riding a non-motorized riding device shall ride the person's device in a controlled manner and shall exercise due care and reasonable caution to prevent injury to others, to self, or to property.
6. (6) A person riding a non-motorized riding device may not exceed a reasonable and proper speed under the circumstances then and there existing, including the limited braking or steering capabilities of the device. In no instance may a person operate a non-motorized riding device at a speed greater than 10 miles per hour upon any bicycle path, sidewalk, or other pedestrian pathway.
7. (7) A non-motorized riding device may not be ridden two or more abreast on any bicycle path, sidewalk, or pedestrian walkway.
8. (8) A non-motorized riding device may not be used to carry more persons at one time than the number for which it is designed and equipped, except that an adult bicycle rider may carry a child securely attached to the rider's person in a backpack or sling or in a child carrier securely attached to the bicycle. A bicycle rider may not carry any package, bundle, or other article which may prevent the rider from keeping at least one hand on the handle bars.
9. (9) A person riding a non-motorized riding device may not attach the device in any manner to any moving motor vehicle, except that this does not prohibit the attaching to a bicycle of a bicycle trailer or semitrailer specifically designed for such attachment.
10. (10) Each bicycle ridden on University premises shall be equipped with such brakes, reflectors, and other safety devices as are required by state law for operating a bicycle on streets or highways.
11. (11) A non-motorized riding device of any type may not be left unattended or parked on or at any ramp, entrance, or other facility designated for persons with physical disabilities or in such a manner as to impede the free and clear use of such facility.
12. (12) A non-motorized riding device may not be left unattended or parked in the public areas of any building, including hallways, stairwells, and classrooms. Such devices may not be left unattended or parked at or near any building entrance or exit in such manner as to impede the free and clear use of such areas.
13. (13) A non-motorized device may not be parked at or attached to any fire hydrant, standpipe, building service equipment, or other safety device.
