Dubai's new e-scooter patrols start May 1, but expert says parents must step up
Dubai Police and RTA are launching a dedicated unit on May 1 to patrol cycling tracks and enforce rules on e-scooter and bicycle safety, like helmet use and speed limits. But road safety expert Thomas Edelmann stresses that while enforcement is good, education is crucial-parents need to guide their kids, and schools should teach proper riding. Residents are relieved, saying reckless riding by children and adults is a real hazard, with many ignoring basic safety and even riding underage despite rules requiring riders to be 16+. It's a shared responsibility: authorities are acting, but families must too.
