Dubai Police hosts awareness E-Scootercade

Dubai Police, in association with the Positive Spirit Council, organised a scootercade to teach e-scooter riders about traffic safety laws and to highlight designated paths and locations for their use.

Participants travelled along Bani Yas Street, under the jurisdiction of Naif Police Station.

Brigadier Omar Ashour Mousa, Acting Director of Naif Police Station, emphasised the significance of following all safety and security criteria, rules, and regulations in designated places to ensure user safety.

He also emphasised the importance of following permitted roads, obeying traffic laws, wearing a proper helmet, using a reflective vest, and equipping the scooter with a bright white reflective light in the front and a bright red reflective light in the rear. He also stressed the need to ensure that scooters had functional brakes.
