Last Update há 4 meses

 Where You CAN Ride
  • Roads with speed limits of 50 km/h or below
  • Bike lanes (even on roads over 50 km/h)
  • Multi-use paths and trails where permitted
  • Cycle tracks
Where You CANNOT Ride
  • Sidewalks (this is important!)
  • 400-series highways
  • Roads with speed limits over 50 km/h (unless there is a bike lane)
  • Restricted zones shown in red on the app map (Vehicles will slow down to a stop in these areas)
  • Private property without permission

City-Specific Rules

Some cities have additional local rules. For example:

  • Barrie Waterfront: Riding is limited to parks and trails only - street riding is not permitted
  • Downtown Markham: You must park in a designated parking zone to end your trip

Always check the SCOOTY app map before you ride. Colored zones clearly show where riding is allowed, restricted, or prohibited.

Sharing Space with Others
  • On trails: Slow down near pedestrians and use your bell or voice to alert them
  • On roads: Follow traffic laws, signal your turns, and ride with traffic
  • At intersections: Obey traffic signals and signs
