Where to ride an e-bike
You can ride your e-bike on most roads and highways where conventional bikes are permitted, with some exceptions.

You can't ride your e-bike:

on certain provincial controlled access highways, such as the 400 series, the Queen Elizabeth Way, the Queensway in Ottawa or the Kitchener-Waterloo Expressway
on municipal roads, including sidewalks, where bicycles are banned under municipal by-laws
on municipal roads, sidewalks, bike paths, bike trails or bike lanes where e-bikes are prohibited


I've been watching this installation go on (as most of us have) all summer and I just dreaded the amount of driveways this MUT crosses. Way too many chances for interactions with vehicular traffic for ebike, pedestrians and cyclists. So what you have seen just proves my concern is justified.
