Yeah, in general. Cars are not allowed to drive on sidewalks under most if not all circumstances. The point is that e-scooters have their restrictions for a reason, regardless of any whataboutism relating to cars. We want walkable cites, not e-scootable.
No clue what that street sigh means, but I guess it’s supposed to signify a shared space?
They’re not supposed to do a lot of things, and yet they do all of those things. They speed, they overtake dangerously, they kill pedestrians and cyclists, they kill or injure other motorists.
“But there’s a rule against it” doesn’t resolve problems like all the pedestrian and cycling deaths that we seem to accept as a needful sacrifice to keep bad transport infra and as-is. There are also rules against scooters operating dangerously. I’m not sure why bigger, heavier, more-powerful vehicles ought not to be subject to similar kinds of controls scooters are
One of these share footpaths with pedestrians. The other two have to use their own dedicated pathways.
And also speed restrictions.

E-scooters shouldn’t be sharing the footpath, they should be in the cycle lane with other similar vehicles.
If they exist. I took a multi mile bike ride today and aside from the occasional bike gutter there were none
More like they ban pedestrians from their pathways.
