Arkansas Police Battle a Scooter Boom

An onslaught of scooters at the University of Arkansas has prompted campus police to revamp their enforcement of scooter law, the Traveler reports. Last year, scooters were mostly treated as bicycles and were allowed to ride on sidewalks and park at bike racks. But complaints of too many motorized two-wheelers speeding through the walking paths and their presence in residence hallways and elevators has forced police to change their enforcement guidelines, asking students to park in designated spots and generally watch out for pedestrians.
