Skateboarding

In order to ensure the safe use of skateboards, regulations about where, when, and how skateboards can be used are important. Communicating these regulations clearly to the public is important, particularly because a large portion of skateboard users are minors. Salem's skateboard rules page is straightforward, starts with the places where residents can skateboard, includes a color-coded map, a guide to skateboarding, and safety tips. The page conveys an attitude of "That's great you want to skateboard, here's how to be safe and respectful!"
