Recently there was a dangerous situation in Vienna where a driver narrowly avoided an accident with a scooter driver. In principle, the same traffic rules apply to bicycles and e-scooters (up to a certain engine power). Are new rules needed to increase road safety?
The increasing presence of bicycles, e-scooters and similar vehicles in urban traffic poses new challenges and requires a rethink of traffic planning and regulation. Currently, cyclists and scooter riders, for example B. are also allowed to drive against the one-way path. Clearly this increases the likelihood of conflict.
“Exams and exams – now!”
The topic has always been hotly debated in our community and calls for testing and license plates for cyclists and scooter riders can be read time and time again in the comments or emails we receive on this topic.
New regulations?
The question now facing us is how we should deal with these developments. Should we adapt our existing regulations to guarantee the safety of all road users? Should there be some kind of driver’s license for the use of bicycles and similar vehicles to ensure a basic knowledge of road safety and traffic rules? Or are there other, innovative approaches that can lead to a harmonious coexistence of traditional and modern means of transport?
Together instead of against each other
It is not just about setting rules, but also about increasing awareness of living together on the road. Your opinions, ideas and suggestions are invaluable. What could a safe and efficient traffic flow look like, taking everyone’s needs into account? What measures would you propose to improve coexistence on the streets?
We cordially invite you to be part of this important discussion. Share your thoughts, experiences and concepts with us in the comments. Let’s set the course together for a safe and sustainable transport future. We look forward to a lively exchange!
