Segways are already allowed on trails. That got slipped in by the Segway
people with little discussion. Their lobbyists hit all 50 states fast
and hard. I have to admire their skill.
As to golf carts, I think the size - especially the width - of the golf
cart is a pretty compelling argument against using them. On a 10 foot
path, I would think passing could be a problem, both same direction and
passing in opposite directions. Scooters and wheelchairs are a different
situation, since they are considerably smaller. Is this person unable to
use one of those for transportation?
The municipality could pass a maximum width ordinance with regard to
their paths. I can't think of any bike trailer that would be excluded,
although loads placed sideways - such as lumber - might be a problem. Of
course, that would generally not be a good idea on a path anyway.
