Road safety has also become one of the priorities of the measures carried out in the municipality, with 26 electric scooters that were not type-approved and lacked the relevant documentation being taken off the road.
The action highlights the need to ensure that Personal Mobility Vehicles (PMVs) used on public roads meet the established requirements and offer minimum safety conditions both for their users and for everyone else who shares the public space.
The growing presence of electric scooters on the streets has made these vehicles a common feature of urban mobility, but it has also created new challenges for road safety and coexistence. The use of units that do not meet the required standards can pose an added risk, especially in areas with a high number of pedestrians such as the seafront promenade.
The removal of these 26 scooters is therefore added to the measures aimed at controlling the use of this type of vehicle and ensuring compliance with current regulations.
Manilva Town Hall recently began drawing up a Municipal Ordinance regulating Personal Mobility Vehicles (PMVs), with the aim of adapting the regulation to the current situation in the municipality and establishing specific rules on circulation, parking, conditions of use, minimum age, rental companies and the penalty system.
The new regulation aims to respond to the growth in the use of these vehicles and to situations such as parking on pavements or the coexistence problems that can arise in particularly busy areas, such as the seafront promenades of Sabinillas and Castillo de la Duquesa.
