Very excellent, Gareth! Well written and detailed, all with the consistent purpose of instilling civilized and considerate behavior of Segway gliders. Very well done for codifying this. It should be, at the very least, food for thought for every glider.
A few things I might add: Beware of gliding past store entrances for the possibility of colliding with unsuspecting pedestrians exiting the premises. Reduce speed and try to glide far enough away to reduce the chances of collisions.
Give notice when overtaking or coming upon pedestrians standing in your path or going slower than you. Use a bell, horn, or call out politely and audibly with the intention not to startle. However, if those pedestrians are behind or amongst other slow-moving or stopped pedestrians, find another route around them or blend in at their pace.
Be especially careful of pedestrians with pets or with small children. Slow down and be prepared to stop instantly.
