Recent rise in electric scooter-related accidents raises concern over the heightened risk to riders and other pedestrians.
Several e-scooter riders were recently involved in severe accidents due to negligence and non-compliance with traffic rules, Dubai Police have warned.
The General Department of Traffic in Dubai Police has recently launched an awareness campaign to educate e-scooter riders on traffic rules and instructions, roads and paths designated for this type of transport, as well as security and safety requirements.
Riders must wear protective helmets and park at designated places.
E-scooters must not be left in places that trigger traffic bottlenecks.
Riders must ride cautiously and avoid causing traffic risks to other road users.
Brigadier Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police, urged e-scooter riders to maintain distance between vehicles and people walking on footpaths and refrain from holding or carrying any materials that may affect the balance of the e-scooter.
