In Alexandria, it's illegal for scooters to ride on the sidewalk, or the Mount Vernon Trail (according to the National Park Service).

It can be if you’re alert to bumps/disjointed, slow for & yield to pedestrians, and recognize that drivers will have a hard time seeing/reacting to you at intersections.

It’s the same advice I give people riding bikes on the sidewalk.

In DC i think it is legal except in the Central Business District. Just like bikes. But you also need to give pedestrians the right of way on sidewalks.

I see them riding on the sidewalks all the time, everywhere. What is the law.
