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.
So, lets see. So far in this thread cycle paths should be wide enough for an emergency vehicle, should be used by all manners of transport other than automobiles and speed restricted due to slow moving scooters and pedestrians.
Sounds like it removes all the benefits and adds all the problems of the system we currently have.
I don’t think they should necessarily be speed restricted, nor is that the law where I live - the only rule is that you can’t exceed the speed limit on adjacent roads (which practically makes them unbounded for almost all cases for cyclists under their own power).
By making them wide enough for emergency vehicles, they can accommodate both slower and faster moving cyclists, with mobility vehicles moving at similar speeds to slower cyclists and hence automatically being accommodated. I don’t think pedestrians should be co-located with cyclists and mobility vehicles, as these actors have different incompatible needs.
