In Santa Monica, they're planning to add a pictograph of a scooter to bike lanes so the tourists know to ride there instead of the side walks. (And they're charging the scooter companies additional fees to pay for the costs.)

They've also started a marketing campaign. Recently saw a banner on a city bus with 3 "scooter laws" written on the side (helmet, not on sidewalks, etc). Both Lime and Bird have adopted giving out free helmets to frequent riders. Seems they're much more accepted down here as well when compared to SF.
