Skateway

A skateway is a transport route restricted to human-powered transport, based heavily on controlled-access highways and bike freeways.

Despite the restrictions, the use of pedelecs, electric skateboards and other motor-assisted personal transport are accounted for in Gaia's traffic laws, with clear distinctions made between "street legal" and "sport grade" transport in marketing material and top speeds of street legal personal transport being regulated heavily.

The use of street-legal motor-assistance on skateways is allowed and encouraged, however, hefty fines are given for using sport-grade transport on skateways. XR-enabled personal transport is gaining popularity, as it enables sport-grade motor-assisted transport to be used with awareness of the user's speed, similarly to a supercar being driven at or below the speed limit in the Old Real.
