Ajman Police has announced an immediate ban on electric scooters and similar two-wheeled vehicles on all public roads and streets. The decision comes in response to growing safety concerns and a rise in traffic violations involving these popular modes of transport.
The ban applies to both privately owned and rental e-scooters. Ajman Police has urged residents to comply with the new regulations to ensure public safety. Violators may face fines or have their vehicles confiscated, though specific penalties have not yet been detailed.
This move follows a warning from Ajman Police last month, when video footage surfaced showing riders breaking traffic laws. The footage showed e-scooter users riding without helmets, going against the flow of traffic on one-way streets, and misusing pedestrian crossings, endangering both riders and pedestrians.
Following traffic rules is essential for everyone, whether you’re in a car, on a bike, or riding an e-scooter. If you drive in the UAE, it’s a good time to check how you can remove black points from your driving license this August and keep your record clean.
