Bill > HB986

This bill revises the operational procedures and restrictions for personal delivery devices, which are small, often robotic, vehicles used for delivering goods. Specifically, it amends existing Georgia law to require personal delivery devices to emit a sound when they are in motion and within six feet of a vehicle, a pedestrian, or someone in a wheelchair, changing the trigger from simply "approaching" to being "in motion." The bill also increases the maximum speed limits for these devices: they can now travel up to seven miles per hour on sidewalks, shared use paths, or safety zones, and also up to seven miles per hour within a crosswalk, up from a previous limit of four miles per hour in those areas, while maintaining the twenty miles per hour limit for bicycle lanes, shoulders, or roadways.
