[Ord. 303, 3/9/1981; as added by Ord. 364, 9/12/1988, § 1]
The Council of the Borough of Akron recognizes that the use
of skateboards, street skates, roller skates, scooters, big wheels
and tricycles (hereinafter all collectively referred to as "roller
vehicles") has become prevalent in the Borough. The use of roller
vehicles on public streets constitutes a danger to the health and
safety of the user of the roller vehicles and to the traveling public.
It is, therefore, necessary to prohibit the use of roller vehicles
upon public streets within the Borough.
[Ord. 303, 3/9/1981; as added by Ord. 364, 9/12/1988, § 2]
No person shall operate a roller vehicle on or upon any public
street within the Borough of Akron, except for the purpose of crossing
said street. The rules pertaining to pedestrians crossing streets
shall apply to persons crossing a street on a roller vehicle. No person
crossing a public street on a roller vehicle shall travel too fast
for safety under the conditions existing.
[Ord. 303, 3/9/1981; as added by Ord. 364, 9/12/1988, § 3]
As used herein the term "public street," shall include the entire
width between the boundary lines of every way publicly maintained
when any part thereof is open to the use of the public for vehicular
travel.
[Ord. 303, 3/9/1981; as added by Ord. 364, 9/12/1988, §§ 4,
