10.60.020 Prohibited on sidewalks.
The city council finds that the driving, riding and use of, motorcycles, motor-driven cycles, minibikes, motor scooters, motorized bicycles or off-highway motor vehicles as defined in Sections 400, 405, 406 and 38012, respectively, of the Vehicle Code of the state, on public and private property within the limits of the city is and can be the cause of irritating dust, noxious exhaust fumes, noise, erosion of land, a high risk of igniting brush and grass fires, creation of unimproved roadways and pathways which constitutes a danger to persons in such areas, an adverse effect on the environment in such areas and on the persons residing therein, the destruction of plants, landscaping and other personal and real property, which conduct adversely affects the comfort and privacy of occupants and residents of the city, and constitutes a public nuisance. Because said conduct may be intermittent, fleeting, moving or caused by persons who are minors, the provisions of the city’s ordinances, as well as other legal remedies, are inadequate to control said conduct and its adverse effects. The provisions of this chapter relating to regulation of motorcycles, motor-driven cycles, minibikes, motor scooters, motorized bicycles and off-highway motor vehicles are therefor necessary for the public welfare. (Ord. 158 § 1, 1984)
