The municipal group of the Popular Party in the City Council of Puerto Lumbreras will carry for its debate and approval before the plenary session a motion for the elaboration of a Municipal Regulatory Ordinance for urban mobility vehicles (bicycles, electric skateboards or scooter scooters), as well as a proposal to develop specific information and awareness campaigns on road safety, once the ordinance has been approved and published.
The use of the bicycle is increasing and even today, also that of the electric scooter, therefore, we are looking for the safe use of an increasingly proliferating alternative means of transport in the cities.
But the use of these brings with it the increase in incidents and accidents by having to live on the same public roads, bicycles, skates and pedestrians, not counting motor vehicles.
It is important to increase the safety of cyclists and pedestrians, deterring the development of certain unsafe behaviors for users of bicycles or skates, but also behaviors of the users themselves who may jeopardize the integrity of pedestrians or his own, so that municipal intervention through awareness and specific regulation are essential.
The need for regulation would mean, for example, more precise signaling.
An example of this is in the elimination of the obligatory blue round signs for the squares of information or those of shared circulation with pedestrians, or road markings such as those already existing that inform of recommended routes or that remember the presence of cyclist by these routes, Advance steps for bicycles, motorcycles and even electric scooters, which would allow the coexistence of both, or even clarify the contradictions and expressly collecting the movement of cyclists along the road in accordance with the traffic rules applicable to other vehicles.
In this regard, the General Directorate of Traffic has already announced that it will regulate the use of electric skates in the Vehicle Regulations by giving basic rules within it, given its proliferation in cities and the absence of regulations in this regard.
