Ministry plans to bar Segways from pavements over collisions with pedestrians

Under the proposal, the two-wheeled vehicles could be used on cycle paths or other places set aside for them by local authorities. Ministry officials said the move had been prompted by a growing number of collisions between Segway drivers and pedestrians.
