Electric scooter share company Lime announced that their scooters will automatically come to a halt when driven over “pride flag” crosswalks in Spokane, Washington, a move which comes as users intentionally leave skid marks on the crosswalks in opposition to “pride month.”

Spokane police officers arrested three suspects last week and charged them with first-degree malicious mischief after they were observed defacing the crosswalk by leaving skid marks, claiming they caused “widespread damage,” while a local reporter captured video footage of five to six young people doing the same one day later as he was reporting on the arrests.

Any scooters driven over the “pride flag” crosswalks will now be remotely shut down and come to a stop, meaning users will have to walk the scooters until they pass the crosswalk.

Lime director of government relations Hayden Harvey said in a statement to the media that “all of us at Lime condemn these vile acts in no uncertain terms,” leading them to create the automatic shutdowns. “At a time when our teams at Lime are beginning pride celebrations around the globe, it is disturbing to see the hate taking place in Spokane,” Harvey continued.

Several “pride flag” crosswalks have been vandalized by drivers in recent years amid broader frustration with the cultural phenomenon of “pride month.” Another crosswalk in St. Petersburg, Florida, was recently defaced twice in the same week: a two-door vehicle left tire marks by spinning out in the intersection, while a truck left tire marks by rapidly accelerating.

“I want to emphasize that there is no place for hate in St. Petersburg. We stand united in valuing and appreciating every resident, regardless of their orientation, gender identity, or expression,” St. Petersburg Democratic Mayor Ken Welch remarked in a statement about the incidents. “Our differences make St. Pete the vibrant and diverse community we cherish.”
