Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has increased the awareness campaigns and inspections for the four operators of e-scooters in Dubai.
The awareness campaigns were launched when services were rolled out and are still continuing.
The campaign includes highlighting the violations, briefing about the importance of identity cards for e-scooters and knowing the technical specifications.
Several violations by e-scooter operators have been noted including failure to comply with RTA’s circulars and instructions, the use of parking and places outside the approved operational zones, and the failure to place identifying labels, logos or colours assigned to the facility in the specified places or on both sides of the e-scooter.
The Traffic Department of RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency has issued circulars and instructions to e-scooter rental companies to comply with the regulations and laws for the safety of electric scooter users and other road users.
Muhannad Al Muhairi, Director of Licensing Activities Monitoring, Licensing Agency said, “The awareness campaigns and inspection of RTA-appointed e-scooter operators in Dubai have significantly contributed to the delivery of safe, smooth and enjoyable services to users from all spectrums of the community.”
