Dear RTT subscribers
Time for a break from trucks... :)
Several years ago I sought input from this forum on the safety of mobility scooters using public footpaths. The project has now reached the stage where an Australian Standard Technical Specification has been developed and is open for public comment. The regulators among you may be interested in the proposed technical requirements. The draft can be download here:
https://sapc.standards.org.au/sapc/public/listOpenCommentingPublication.action
SA TS 3695.3 Wheelchairs Part 3 "Requirements for designation of powered wheelchair and mobility scooters for public transport and/or road related area use.”
If you would like further background I can send you a presentation on the Austroads project that led to the drafting of this document.
