Montgomery County Parks Rules & Regs, beginning July 1-
No person shall operate an unlicensed motorized scooter, motorized or electrically assisted bicycle, Electric Bicycle, segway, hover-board or similar motorized personal locomotive device except
(1) as authorized by Permit; or
(2) in areas where expressly designated by Park Directive and posted accordingly

I would just note that this regulation is totally ridiculous, as it will actually restrict e-assist bicycles more than it restricts cars or motorcycles. A car or motorcycle can use anything designated as a “roadway or street for vehicular traffic.” But an e-assist bicycle would not be permitted to use a roadway or street within a park, unless expressly designated by Park Directive and posted accordingly.

My hope here is that they will issue appropriate Park Directives promptly. At that point, we’ll have to see where e-assist bicycles are and are not permitted to go.
Also, did you notice that, “Paved trails on Park Property remain open between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 12 midnight for transient Bicycle traffic only, unless posted otherwise.” This is an improvement on the old rules that allowed such traffic only between sunrise and sunset. But apparently I am a major scofflaw in regularly using the CCT after midnight.
