University Police reminder about scooter safety
Scooters are convenient, but riders must follow the same traffic laws as bicyclists in Tennessee. Always wear a helmet, ride with traffic, and stay as far to the right as safely possible. Stop at all stop signs and red lights. Use hand signals when turning, remain alert for vehicles and pedestrians, and never assume drivers see you. Obey traffic signals, stay predictable, and make safety your priority every time you ride.
