Are we seriously suggesting hidden speed bumps for scooters or is this a joke? I understand a lot of people are annoyed by these things, but implementation of something like this would seriously injure people and inconvenience the disabled. Do people really feel as though people deserve to be seriously injured because they are riding an electric scooter? That is ludicrous. I never ever understand the passionate and sometimes irrational hate people have for scooters.
I also laugh at Uber Drivers complaining about this because I've heard numerous people complaining over the years about Uber Drivers who randomly make U-turns, sharply make turns, block traffic while waiting for their pick-up, make people feel unsafe in the car, and drive erratically. Except in their car they actually have a high percentage chance of killing someone when they drive recklessly.
Like it or not these things appear to be the way of the future for transportation in cities, Nashville ought to adapt, accept, and grow transportation solutions like this in order to continue to be the "it city" it has become. Just because they are different than a car does not mean they are any less viable of a transportation option. Build out bike/scooter lane infrastructure and maybe (heaven forbid) sacrifice a few parking spaces for lanes and docking spots. Once this is done, have the police actually enforce the rules on the books. It's a possible solution that is sensible and that will not cost that much money and could solve a lot of issues/arguing/angst.
