Manilva Town Hall has presented a new awareness video on the use of personal mobility vehicles, especially electric scooters, with a «fresh and dynamic» approach aimed particularly at the municipality’s young people.
The initiative aims to convey, in an accessible and appealing way, the importance of using these vehicles responsibly and safely, using a style inspired by video games.
The mayor of Manilva explained that the aim of this campaign is to reach young people in particular and make them aware of the risks and responsibilities associated with the use of electric scooters. According to the mayor, «we are in no way seeking to penalise», but rather to protect the safety and lives of those who use this type of vehicle.
The new bylaw, coming soon
This awareness campaign also comes at a time when the Town Hall is working on new municipal regulations for Personal Mobility Vehicles (PMVs).
According to the mayor, the new bylaw regulating the use of these vehicles on public roads in the municipality will come into force soon, establishing a specific framework for their use.
The new rules seek to organise coexistence between scooters, pedestrians and other users of public roads, at a time when these vehicles have grown significantly in recent years.
Recognition for the Local Police and RTV Manilva
The mayor also wished to publicly thank the Manilva Local Police for their involvement, especially the Road Safety department, highlighting the work carried out by Francisco Barragán, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez and Andrés Benítez.
The mayor particularly highlighted the awareness work that these officers have been carrying out in schools, the secondary school and associations in the municipality.
The mayor also acknowledged the work of the professionals at Radio Televisión Manilva, who produced the video, designed in a format that seeks to connect with younger audiences through a presentation inspired by video games.
The campaign thus aims to ensure that the arrival of the new regulations is accompanied by information and awareness, placing the emphasis on prevention and road safety rather than on penalties.
