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 you push a two-wheeled vehicle with the engine off, you’re acting as a pedestrian. Sidewalks are designed for pedestrians, so it’s allowed to walk on a pedestrian walkway in this situation. The engine being off means you’re not operating the vehicle, just moving it by hand, so the normal rule for riding a vehicle—staying on the roadway—does not apply here. If the engine were on, you would be riding and should use the roadway or a bike lane, not the sidewalk. That’s why this statement is the best choice: it aligns with treating the situation as pedestrian movement rather than vehicle operation.
