Technically one could legally WALK a moped from the street to where it is parked on a sidewalk, but in practice that's not what happens.
And operating on a sidewalk is a MOVING VIOLATION, not a PARKING CITATION. It is a huge issue for UW Transportation Services because our employees can only issue parking citations. Moving violations must be written by a sworn police office, e.g. UWPD, MPD, Capitol Police, NOT UW Transportation Services (or Madison's "Parking Enforcement Officers" as far as I know).

But to access a bike rack on a sidewalk, they would have to ride on the sidewalk. Maybe I am wrong here?? Of course, this would not apply at the bike corrals. At Charter and the Bike Path, a lot of moped students cut onto the path/sidewalk for a time to park at the apartments there. On more than one occasion it cause minor heart palpatations as a large motorized thing darted in front of my people powered vehicle. MArk
