Dubai authorities have introduced a comprehensive set of guidelines aimed at promoting responsible riding and reducing accidents.
Outlined by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), these guidelines encompass various safety stipulations that E-scooter users must adhere to while navigating Dubai's streets and pathways.
To ensure passenger safety, the RTA has banned E-scooters from Dubai Metro and Tram.
Age Requirement: Users must be at least sixteen (16) years old to operate an E-scooter.
Protective Gear: Wearing a protective helmet, appropriate gear, and shoes is mandatory.
Parking:E-scooters must be parked in designated areas to avoid obstructing pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
Consideration for Others: Users should maintain a safe distance between e-scooters, bikes, and pedestrians and avoid blocking pathways.
No Passengers: It is prohibited to carry passengers on E-scooters.
Traffic Regulations: Adherence to traffic instructions, regulations and warning signs is essential.
Safety Checks: Regular checks of the E-scooter's technical specifications, lights, horns, tires, and brakes are necessary.
Manufacturing Standards: E-scooters must comply with climatic conditions and specifications approved by relevant authorities.
Speed Limit: The maximum speed limit for E-scooters is set at 20 km/h.
Additionally, users are required to inform competent authorities in the event of any accidents, regardless of whether damage to others occurred.
E-scooter riders are urged to practice caution and avoid reckless behaviour that could endanger public safety.
These safety guidelines underscore the commitment of Dubai authorities to promoting responsible E-scooter usage and ensuring the well-being of both riders and pedestrians. The RTA reserves the right to introduce further stipulations as deemed necessary in the future.
