California tightened hoverboard rules

California introduced additional measures to comply with safety rules when using hoverboards - the hottest technological toy of the past year.

The new law, which came into force on 1 in January of 2016, prohibits persons under the age of 16 from using the hoverboard for driving on public roads. Owners of hoverboards are advised to travel on roads with a speed limit of 35 miles per hour (56 km / h) or less.

The California Highway Patrol will strictly monitor the implementation of this law over the next five years, punishing violators with a fine of 250 dollars.

A major concern of the authorities is the safety of users on hoverboards. "They should look not only at their feet, but also at cars moving near," said Chris Cochran, a representative of the California State Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in an interview with NBC News. “They should also take care not to run into pedestrians.”

Cochran warned that additional safety restrictions may be added to local regulations. For example, in San Francisco, hoverboard traffic on sidewalks is prohibited. “Federal law permits movement on hoverboards on roads, but a city or district may impose a restriction on the type of road or specify a list of roads (where movement on hoverboards is allowed),” says a management spokesman.

As Forum previously wrote, in New York activists try to legitimize movement on hoverboards. The bill may be considered by the legislature in 2016 year. However, it is possible that gadgets will only be allowed to be used in parks and on sidewalks.
