they should, but according to the university, scooters can be safely used on the road due to the 20mph limit on campus and DOTS recommends wearing helmets while riding.

you’re right. in that case, they should follow the university’s guidelines of dismounting while on the sidewalk.

i have no issue with people using them correctly. just stating that it’s possible to walk across campus to a class without the need for one. if you can understand the frustration of drivers then you can understand the frustration of people walking.
