Segway operators suing Prague

The Czech Association of Segway Operators is suing Prague over its decision to ban the two-wheeled vehicle across most of the historic city centre, the news site lidovky.cz reported. The association argues that the ban is in violation of the law, because it goes further than is necessary and has put many operators out of business. The ban was approved in the summer, following numerous complaints from the public, but it was only recently that over 600 road signs banning Segways went up and police started imposing the restrictions. Segway operators argue that alternative routes on the suburbs are not attractive for tourists who want to see the historic city centre.
