So far, Quebec is the only Canadian province that has updated its legislation to allow wheelchairs and mobility scooters on bike and roll routes and low-speed roads.

    That’s better than 3500kg at 60km/h.

      Cool, so this causes more problems than it solves

        Bike lane protected by concrete that are level with the ground are easier for mobility device users than uneven sidewalks which constantly cross roads.

        I see this all the time and it is unacceptable.

          And that person should have a sidewalk. You want to put pedestrians in with cyclists.

          Edit: cycle paths cross roads just as much as sidewalks

          Your photo shows a wheelchair using a plowed roadway, because the sidewalk isn’t plowed

          Bike lane protected by concrete…

          … isn’t going to be plowed either. The only reason a regular bike lane is plowed is because it is part of the roadway.
