Traffic Safety - As enacted, clarifies the areas in which a personal delivery device may be operated and where such devices are prohibited; authorizes local resolutions or ordinances to both regulate and prohibit such devices but only in compliance with state law. - Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 8.

Summary

The bill clarifies where personal delivery devices—such as electric scooters and small cargo robots—may be used, permitting them on sidewalks, crosswalks, bike lanes, shoulders, parking lots and comparable spaces at speeds up to 20 mph. It changes state law so local governments can only regulate, not outright ban, these devices, and any local rules must align with the new state provisions. The change aims to provide consistent rules for riders while preserving public safety oversight.
