This bill proposes updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the operation of bicycles and electric mobility devices. It introduces new regulations for individuals riding bicycles, including speed limits of fifteen miles per hour on sidewalks and five miles per hour over the speed of any person being passed. Additionally, it mandates that riders provide an audible warning before passing others and allows local authorities to set lower speed limits on bicycle or multiuse paths.

Furthermore, the bill expands these regulations to include electric bicycles and other electric mobility devices, establishing similar speed limits and requirements for operators. The current statute regarding labeling for electric bicycles remains unchanged, but the new provisions will ensure that operators of electric devices adhere to the same safety and speed guidelines as traditional bicycle riders. Local authorities are also granted the power to impose stricter speed limits for these devices, enhancing safety on shared paths.
