The General Directorate of Traffic announced the ban on electric scooters on public roads, lanes allocated for vehicles, shoulder areas of roads, and emergency lanes. The decision was based on traffic law rules and to protect all road users' safety. The ban was enforced due to the irregular use of scooters and the risks they impose, leading to fatal and serious accidents, damaging property and hindering traffic. Violations would be tackled by seizing the scooters and taking legal steps against the users. The General Directorate of Traffic calls upon all to follow the rules for the safety of road users.
