New Roadsigns: No E-Scooters

This is the third in our series of afternoon articles on the new roadsigns that the DGT have brought out, coming into effect this year.

SPN Roadsign No E-ScootersAs a result of the growing proliferation of PMVs in the form of electric scooters, this sign, the R-118, is a no-entry sign for this kind of vehicle.

It covers other kinds of E-vehicles used as personal transport but is not for PMVs for people with mobility problems; i.e., ones used for people with walking difficulties, through age or illness.

There have been a number of accidents in town centres involving people zipping in and out of traffic (especially on roundabouts) mounted on these electric scooters.
