What Is a Sidewalk Delivery Device?
A sidewalk delivery device is what Texas law calls a personal delivery device (Tex. Transp. Code chapter 552A, sections 552A.0001-552A.0010). Subchapter A governs personal delivery and mobile carrying devices in pedestrian areas and on roadway sides or highway shoulders. It sets operation, equipment, monitoring, and local-authority rules.
Maximum speeds are 10 mph in pedestrian areas and 20 mph on roadway sides or highway shoulders; a qualifying local pedestrian-area limit may be lower. Section 552A.0010 requires a business operating a personal delivery device to maintain at least $100,000 in general liability coverage.
