得梅因研讨高速电动滑板车禁令 拟禁时速超20英里器械上人行道
艾奥瓦州波尔克县得梅因市市议会11月9日继续研讨一项针对高速电动滑板车等新型代步工具的管理条例，拟禁止时速超过20英里的电动滑板车、独轮车、悬浮滑板和电动滑板上人行道、步道和街道。得梅因市议会10月19日的工作会议已讨论过这项条例草案。
根据草案，时速不超过20英里、电机功率不超过750瓦的低速器械仍可在公共道路和步道上使用；高速器械由于未纳入州政府管理、无法登记上路，市府认为其在人行道上行驶对行人构成危险。市交通规划师 Jeff Wiggins 表示，2022年至2025年，得梅因市因电动代步工具事故前往急诊就诊的人数增长了1000%。
Windsor Heights、西得梅因、Ankeny 等郊区城市今年已出台类似规定。市长 Connie Boesen 表示，出于公共安全考虑，有必要尽快出台管理办法；市议会尚未确定表决时间。
Des Moines Weighs Ban on High-Speed E-Scooters from Sidewalks
DES MOINES, Iowa — The Des Moines City Council in Polk County, Iowa, continued discussing a proposed ordinance on November 9 that would ban electric scooters, unicycles, hoverboards and e-skateboards capable of more than 20 mph from sidewalks, trails and streets. The council first took up the draft at an October 19 work session.
Under the proposal, low-speed devices — no more than 20 mph and motors no larger than 750 watts — could still be used on public roads and trails. The city says high-speed devices are not regulated by the state and cannot be registered for the road, and that riding them on sidewalks endangers pedestrians. City transportation planner Jeff Wiggins said emergency-room visits from e-device crashes in Des Moines grew 1,000% between 2022 and 2025.
Suburbs including Windsor Heights, West Des Moines and Ankeny have adopted similar rules this year. Mayor Connie Boesen said a regulation is needed soon for public safety; the council has not set a date for a vote.
