Amursk tightens electric scooter rules to boost pedestrian safety

Amursk is introducing new rules for electric scooters to improve safety. The city will adjust parking zones and enforce stricter speed limits in certain areas. Officials also plan educational programmes to promote responsible riding among students.

The changes will include a reduced speed limit of 6 km/h in the city park and along the embankment. These areas are popular with pedestrians, and the restriction aims to lower accident risks.

Other parts of Amursk will see a 15 km/h cap on specific streets. The exact locations have not yet been announced, but the measure targets busy or narrow routes. Alongside speed controls, the city will redesign scooter parking zones. The adjustments intend to prevent clutter and ensure better access for riders and pedestrians. Schools and local authorities will also roll out preventive measures. Educational outreach will teach students about safe scooter use, including speed compliance and parking rules.

The updated regulations come as part of a broader effort to make scooter travel safer. Speed restrictions, parking changes, and student education will all take effect in the coming months. City officials expect the measures to reduce accidents and improve order on shared pathways.
