Morocco tightens regulations for electric scooter riders
In a significant move to enhance road safety, Morocco is preparing to implement stricter regulations for electric scooter users through amendments to Law No. 52.05. The new legislation aims to address the growing presence of electric scooters on Moroccan streets and reduce associated accidents.
Under the proposed changes, riders will need to hold a Class B driving license and complete additional specialized training at a driving school before operating an electric scooter. The regulations introduce penalties for various infractions, including riding without a helmet and running red lights, with the possibility of scooter confiscation in severe cases.
The reform extends beyond electric scooters to tackle broader traffic violations such as illegal parking and unlicensed driving. To enforce these new measures effectively, the government plans to deploy advanced traffic monitoring technology, including systems to detect speeding and track driver behavior.
The Ministry of Transport's initiative responds to the rapid proliferation of electric scooters across Morocco's urban areas, where minimal oversight has raised concerns about the safety of both riders and pedestrians. These comprehensive changes reflect Morocco's commitment to modernizing its transportation laws to accommodate emerging mobility solutions while prioritizing public safety.
