The Challenge
As high-speed electric bikes, scooters, e-rides, and similar mobility devices become increasingly common throughout Florida and across the United States, communities are experiencing a growing number of preventable roadway accidents involving sudden crossings, limited driver reaction time, and youth-operated mobility devices.
The 4-Step Crossing Protocol
Before crossing any roadway, individuals under 21 on mobility devices must:
Reduce speed before reaching the crossing
Come to a complete halt
Dismount the device entirely
Walk across on foot, safely
THE GET OFF LAW IS SIMPLE
Slow Down · Stop
Get Off · Cross Walking
Why This Law Matters
Protect Children & Teenagers
Protect Drivers From Sudden Crossings
Improve Visibility & Roadway Predictability
Reduce Preventable Crashes & Injuries
Increase Motorist Reaction Time
Promote Safer Communities
Where This Law Applies
Public Safety Message
About the Initiative
This proposal is part of a broader public safety and community protection initiative developed by Simone Loureiro Martins Heloany, through a structured and scalable safety framework focused on roadway predictability, injury prevention, public awareness, and community safety integration.
This initiative is proposed as a Florida pilot public safety framework with potential future expansion for broader statewide and national roadway safety discussions involving youth-operated mobility devices.
Support safer crossings. Support safer communities. Support prevention.
