Relating to the applicability of certain pedestrian laws to certain sidewalk users.

HB 4706 defines "sidewalk user" to include individuals operating bicycles, motor-assisted scooters, electric mobility devices, skateboards, roller skates, or similar devices on sidewalks. The bill requires drivers to yield to sidewalk users in crosswalks and intersections, amending traffic code sections that previously only referenced pedestrians. Key changes include updating yield requirements in Sections 544.007 and 545.256 to explicitly cover sidewalk users alongside pedestrians. This directly affects sidewalk users (such as e-scooter riders and skateboarders) and drivers navigating intersections.
