Dubai has introduced a new monitoring unit to regulate the growing use of bicycles and e-scooters across the city. In recent years, more people have started using these eco-friendly transport options for short distances, daily commuting, and leisure activities. With this increase, authorities have decided to strengthen safety measures and ensure that riders follow proper rules on the roads.
According to reports, the new monitoring unit will oversee the movement of cyclists and e-scooter users, check for violations, and help maintain discipline on roads and dedicated tracks. The goal is to reduce accidents, improve traffic flow, and make the city safer for both riders and pedestrians. Officials believe that proper monitoring will also encourage responsible behavior among users.

One of the most important changes is the introduction of mandatory safety gear. Authorities have made it compulsory for riders to wear helmets at all times while using bicycles or e-scooters. In addition, riders must wear reflective jackets or clothing that can be seen from a distance, especially at night or in low-light conditions. These measures are designed to increase visibility and prevent accidents.
Dubai has been actively promoting modern and sustainable transportation, and the rise of e-scooters is part of that vision. However, with more users on the roads, safety has become a top priority. The new rules aim to create a balance between convenience and responsibility.
This step shows Dubai’s commitment to smart urban planning and public safety. By introducing clear regulations and monitoring systems, the city hopes to create a safer environment where people can enjoy alternative transport options without risking their lives or the safety of others.
