Which statement about pushing a two-wheeled vehicle is correct?

• A. A person pushing a two-wheeled vehicle with its engine turned off may walk on a pedestrian walkway.
• B. A person pushing a two-wheeled vehicle with its engine turned off must ride on the roadway.
• C. Two-wheeled vehicles must always stay on the sidewalks.
• D. A person pushing a two-wheeled vehicle with its engine turned off may not walk on a pedestrian walkway.

Answer: (A)

When the engine is off, pushing a two-wheeled vehicle is treated like you’re walking. You’re not operating the vehicle, so you can use pedestrian spaces such as walkways if permitted and safe. This distinguishes pushing with the engine off from riding the vehicle on the roadway, which is what you’d do when the engine is on. So you may walk on a pedestrian walkway in this situation, rather than being required to ride on the roadway or always stay on sidewalks. That makes the option stating you may walk on a pedestrian walkway the correct one.
