In order to protect riders and other road users, the Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has highlighted important safety guidelines, urging riders to use e-scooters responsibly.
In Dubai, e-scooters have grown in popularity as a quick and eco-friendly form of transportation. They aid in lowering emissions, easing traffic, and advancing the city's more general sustainability objectives. As usage increases, the RTA emphasised that safety must continue to be the top priority.
The RTA actively encourages the safe use of electric scooters throughout the emirate. Riders have been reminded to adhere to official directives and traffic laws.
Important Rider Safety Guidelines
The RTA has recommended that e-scooter users adhere to a few fundamental guidelines in order to guarantee a safe riding experience:
- Observe the posted speed limits along e-scooter routes.
- Avoid riding outside shared or designated lanes.
- Always wear protective gear, such as a helmet and brightly coloured or reflective clothing to stay visible.
- Keep a safe distance from pedestrians, bicycles, and other e-scooters.
The RTA emphasised that riders and other road users share responsibility for the safe use of e-scooters. Users can reduce accidents and guarantee easy mobility throughout the city by abiding by traffic laws and exercising caution when riding.
