TN HB1684

Personal delivery devices may operate on sidewalks, crosswalks, bicycle lanes, shoulders, roadway edges, and parking lots throughout Tennessee, with a maximum speed of 20 mph in non-sidewalk areas

Devices are prohibited from bicycle lanes, shoulders, or roadway edges on roads with speed limits exceeding 45 mph, and banned from interstate highways and controlled access highways

Crosswalk operation requires devices to be programmed to properly react to signals, identify pedestrians and traffic, and yield right-of-way to pedestrians and turning vehicles

Local governments may regulate or prohibit personal delivery devices for public safety reasons, but local regulations must not be inconsistent with state law
