Is it a lawful order to command a person who is not committing a crime to move from a public sidewalk she has every right to be on?

The police do not have unlimited power to order us around.
Quote from a lawyer in the article:
> Personal delivery devices must yield to other pedestrians and pedalcyclists in a pedestrian area
