[pct-l] Mobility Assistance Conveyance

[Robert E. Riess]

When you buy a Segway, you are given a laminated card quoting the federal law which designates the Segway as a Mobility Assistance Conveyance.  To prohibit the use of a Segway anywhere a wheelchair is allowed is a violation of federal law, whether the user is disabled or not.   Regulatory personnel are prohibited from inquiring about disability status of the user.  This takes precedence in all states.  Prohibiting a Segway user from any facility is a violation of federal law.  Asking about their disability status is a separate violation.  Setting a reasonable speed limit is allowed.  BR
