Giorgos Kotsiras, the Deputy Minister of Transport in Greece, announced new regulations aimed at enhancing road safety concerning electric scooters. Effective immediately, these regulations will prohibit the use of electric scooters on roads with speed limits exceeding 50 km/h. Additionally, measures will be taken to restrict the sale or rental of electric scooters to individuals under the age of 17. This initiative reflects a broader effort to prioritize safety measures for minors and improve overall traffic conditions.
The proposed regulations, which Kotsiras discussed during a recent media appearance, are part of a legislative effort to impose stricter enforcement and higher fines for violations. A specific fine of 1,000 euros will be levied for non-compliance with the new guidelines. The Deputy Minister emphasized that these actions are crucial in addressing ongoing concerns about road safety and ensuring responsible use of electric scooters within the community.
