Ministry of the Interior announces new rules for drivers of electric scooters which apply from June 15

The Ministry of the Interior today published new rules for electric scooter drivers which are to come into effect on June 15.

Electric scooter drivers will be able to take part in the traffic only if they have a sticker issued by the Agency for Traffic Safety. They will be able to ride electric scooters on bicycle lanes, pedestrian-cycling lanes or bicycle lanes.

– If there is no lane designated for it, the electric scooter driver may ride on the sidewalk on a road at which the speed limit is 30 km/h, or 50 km/h if they are over 18 – the ministry says in an Instagram post.

Also, when crossing the street, the electric scooter driver is not allowed to ride the scooter. In other words, they have to get down from the scooter and cross the street, except on bicycle lane crossings.

The drivers will have to wear brightly colored vests when riding on driving lanes, but also on bicycle lanes at night and in conditions of reduced visibility.

– The driver is obliged to wear a protective helmet, and the use of earphones and audio devices on both ears during the ride is forbidden – points out the Ministry of the Interior.

An electric scooter may not be used by more than one person at a time.
