Aside from occasionally riding on sidewalks, and occasionally riding in the middle of the street, I'd say I pretty much always follow those guidelines. Only time I do so is when it's safe (ie, not too many cars or pedestrians).
Sucks if you're below 16 years old though!!!

and just to clarify things.....
302.10 "cycle" means a device having any number of wheels that is propelled by human power and on which a person may ride but does not include a play vehicle
302.22 "play vehicle" without limiting the generality of the phrase means coaster wagon, scooter, child's tricycle, rollerskate, rollerblade, skateboard, sled, toboggan, ski or skate.

i doubt most cops wont care if youre below the age of 16 but within reason, and even on those totally ilegal streets i doubt ull hav much trouble, the only time ive gotten in shit from cops when skating are when tehr are sighns directly saying not to skateboard, or when u meet one of those hardass cops who got bullied in highshcool and are now trying to regain confidence by causing shit with the same age group wich caused him or her grief
