Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion
Mr. Sam Waide:
The key recommendations that the RSA has put forward include a ban on the use of e-scooters on footpaths, the introduction of a speed limit of no more than 20 km/h, an age restriction for users of 16 or over, the mandatory wearing of helmets and high-visibility jackets and the restricted use of e-scooters to streets that have a 50 km/h or lower speed zone. Those are the key recommendations of the RSA, as the chief adviser to the Government, politicians and committees on road safety and as an organisation and a board, on e-scooters.
