In exceptional circumstances, can an electric scooter rider use a pedestrian path?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes. Under art. 33a para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, a person riding an electric scooter may use a pavement or a footway as an exception, where there is no separate cycle track, cycle lane or carriageway with a limit of up to 30 km/h. They must then ride at close to walking pace and give way to pedestrians.
