For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Joe, I thought this portion of the Charles County Sheriff's Office email posting you cited to be interesting since many police departments have gone into the gray area with their use of their segways [EPAMDs]. For some reason your earlier post didn't have the available picture I posted below. I also saw the the speed limit of 30 mph to be key...also reflected the lack of adjacent sidewalk. I would think we should allow segways [the leaders in green transportation]. ps there is an available segway with the capability to carry a golf bag but thus far only available in the UK. http://www.segway.com/business/products-solutions/x2-golf.php Electronic Personal Assistive Mobility Devices
