For two San Antonio men, Sunday night cruising meant scooting up the Interstate 35 North ramp to Highway 281 South as cars zipped past.
The electric scooter duo was spotted on the shoulder of the sharp curve of the highway near downtown by a MySA staff member around 8:30 p.m. Sunday. Given the low visibility and tight space, the scooter traffic was causing a backup as cars attempted to safely exit onto I-37 without hitting the men.

“Any laws about noise-making mufflers?” David asked. “It throws the sound to a skyrocket high!”
Ben who lives on the Northwest Side had a similar complaint.
“I’m wondering why San Antonio doesn’t have a sound ordnance on vehicle exhaust,” he asked. “Or why there isn’t one incorporated into the vehicle inspections?”
Well, there are laws on the books when it comes to this issue. One is from the Texas Transportation Code. Section 507.604 requires a muffler be in “good working condition that continually operates to prevent excessive or unusual noise.”
Since being appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott in 2015, it has been my great honor to serve Texas, first as commissioner, and since 2017, chairman of the Texas Transportation Commission.
Never has that service meant more to me than during this past year. Despite a global pandemic that presented a historically challenging time for our state and our economy, the 12,000 women and men of TxDOT proved their selfless dedication to our essential transportation system. While many people worked remotely, our team continued to build and maintain our stateâs roadways to ensure critical medical supplies and groceries made it to their destinations.
