Make swegways and segways legal to ride on the pavement and on bicycle lanes.
Swegways and segways are currently illegal to ride anywhere apart from private property. This is because they aren't road worthy but are motor vehicles.
They are small and as safe as bicycles. So I don's see any reason why they can't be made legal to use in public, like in over 40 US states etc.
They are shown to be as safe as bicycles via various studies.
They are legal in over 40 US states, and other countries like Italy and France.
