Proposed ban on Segways to be broader than expected

A proposed ban on Segways in selected parts of Prague will be broader than expected according to the draft proposal which is to be debated by Prague councilors next week. The proposal, which was made available to the ctk news agency, envisages a complete ban in Prague 1, Holešovice and Letna and selected parts of the districts Vinohrady, Žižkov, Prahy 4, Smíchov and Liben. Segways should be banned from pavements, cycle paths, pedestrian zones and streets. The ban should come into effect in mid-August. Segway operators say they will sue the city for losses incurred.
