BERN, SWITZERLAND – Hunting for information from the Swiss Federal Highway Department I came across this bit of news to me: children under 7 with scooters must either stay on the sidewalk and pedestrian paths or be accompanied by an adult if they will be on a road. So the 2 minute scooter run from my house to the village bakery is a no-go zone for little ones on scooters because they have to cross a village street. If you have a little person with a scooter, keep this in mind.
