There is a couple in the Tamarind Grove area who tool around the neighborhood streets on their Segways. We were coming down Lowell Terrace toward Biscayne Villas one day. The couple was coming up Newburn on their Segways. She was on the wrong side of the street, and he blew the stop sign. We had the right-of-way, slammed on the brakes and were eyeballing him blowing through the stop sign and luckily saw her coming up the wrong side of the street.

I would advise be very careful when on one and make sure you obey all the traffic laws.
