Understanding and following the parking rules for e-scooters is essential to ensure accessibility for other pedestrians, including those with disabilities. Improperly parked scooters can block sidewalks, ramps, and entrances, creating inconveniences and safety hazards. Additionally, cities often enforce strict regulations regarding scooter parking, and violations may result in fines for users. By adhering to these rules, riders not only avoid fines but also contribute to a safer, more accessible environment for everyone in the community.
1. Park parallel to the wall
Park your scooter without obstructing others, especially those with visual impairments or wheelchair users. Avoid narrow sidewalks under 2 meters wide.
2. Avoid obstruction
Do not block exits, emergency exits, or public facilities such as trash cans and benches.
3. Choose the right parking spot
Park on wide sidewalks, designated e-scooter areas, or bike racks (not public bike-share racks). Avoid bike lanes, handicap parking spaces, roads, and tactile paving strips.
4. Take a photo of your parking
Take a clear picture of your parked scooter after your ride. This can earn you credits, and failure to do so may result in your account being locked.
