Safe Scooting: Abu Dhabi Police Introduces New E-Scooter Safety Drive

Abu Dhabi Police launched a field awareness campaign to educate residents on the safe use of E-Scooters. This initiative targets riders across Abu Dhabi to ensure total compliance with local laws. Officers from the Department of Traffic and Patrols are working alongside Abu Dhabi Mobility to monitor popular riding zones. 

The campaign reinforces a culture of responsible riding as these modern mobility devices become more popular in the capital. The table below outlines the specific fines authorities impose for common e-scooter violations.

Mandatory Rules for Every E-Scooter

• The vehicle must feature a white front light and a red rear light for maximum visibility at night.
• Every e-scooter should feature a functioning horn or bell firmly fixed to the handlebars for alerting other road users.
• Riders must ensure their vehicle has at least one reliable brake system that functions effectively on the city roads.

Police teams provide on-site guidance to riders on staying in designated lanes and wearing proper protective gear daily. Authorities emphasize that riders must avoid using roads with a maximum speed limit exceeding 60 km/h. 

Using headphones or mobile phones while operating an E-Scooter is strictly prohibited to prevent dangerous distractions on the path. Sticking to the 20 km/h speed limit helps prevent serious injuries during sudden stops or unexpected turns.

Conclusion

The new safety drive highlights Abu Dhabi Police’s commitment to modernizing road safety for every E-Scooter user. Responsible riding protects the community while supporting the goal of a cleaner and more efficient transportation system for all.
