Call for Changes in Electric Scooter Usage Due to Increasing Risks
August 6, 2026
In recent years, there have been fatalities from traffic accidents involving electric scooters, with two deaths reported this year. The Police suggest that scooters should use sidewalks and have specific signage. There are concerns about user safety and the lack of regulation by authorities. Although changes in scooter usage have been voted, the relevant ministerial decree has not been issued yet. The new regulations include mandatory identification of scooters and the lifting of the driving license requirements for younger riders.
