Q105
A new push for safer streets kicked off Wednesday when AAA launched its "Safe Streets for Small Wheels" effort.
The move comes as Florida sees more crashes with e-scooters and e-bikes.
"These devices can go 20, 30, even 40 miles per hour," AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said, according to WTSP.
"Unfortunately, in many cases, riders are not wearing a helmet, they're not easily seen, and they're mixing in with traffic.
"This tech spots trouble before anyone gets hurt," said FDOT's Eric Henry.
