If a moped is operating under its own power, what lanes can it operate in?

If a moped is operating under its own power, what lanes can it operate in?

• A. Bike lanes.
• B. Sidewalks.
• C. Regular traffic lanes.
• D. Shoulders.

Answer: (C)

Powered mopeds are treated like motor vehicles and belong in regular traffic lanes. Sidewalks are for pedestrians and riding there endangers people and is usually not allowed. Bike lanes exist for bicycles, and a moped under its own power isn’t a bicycle, so it shouldn’t be restricted to that space unless a specific rule allows it. Shoulders are not for continuous motorized travel. So, the correct choice is to operate in regular traffic lanes, just like other vehicles, obeying all traffic laws and signals.
