e-scooter users adhering to all relevant road safety rules have been given certificates and scooter hero pins by Dubai Police

Several e-scooter riders have received recognition from a Dubai Police unit that keeps an eye on them for following all applicable traffic laws. Certificates and "scooter hero" pins have been presented to these riders. Riders who pledged to abide by the rules—which included only riding on approved pathways, donning fluorescent jackets and helmets, and making sure their e-scooters had working brakes and lights—were chosen by the special police squad. The General Department of Traffic's director, Major-General Saif Muhair Al Mazroui, stated that the new pin will motivate riders to follow traffic laws to win the title of "scooter hero."

Five individuals were killed and 29 wounded in e-scooter incidents this year, according to information released by the Dubai Police in October. In eight months, the force fined nearly 10,000 cyclists for violating traffic laws. In Dubai, riders who put their own or others' lives in danger face penalties of up to Dh300. The police provided figures showing that, on average, 1,250 penalties were given out each month this year for the inappropriate usage of these cars, which have grown to be a common way for locals to get around.

Avoiding highways with speeds above 60 kmph, obeying traffic signals and other signs, parking in specified places only, dismounting at pedestrian crossings, not riding against traffic, and carrying an extra passenger on an e-bike are just a few of the traffic safety guidelines. Riders were warned last month by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) that designated tracks in residential areas and beaches have a 20 kmph maximum speed restriction. The authorities emphasised that only those 16 years of age and above are permitted to operate e-scooters.
