Slovakia’s parliament has passed an amendment to the traffic law that will limit movement on pavements in built-up areas to 6 km/h. The rule applies to skaters, scooter and e-scooter riders, and cyclists.
MP Ľubomír Vážny, who proposed the law, said the measure aims to reduce collisions on pavements, especially with electric scooters.
E-scooters are increasingly seen as dangerous across European cities, with Paris having already outlawed them and Prague set to ban them.
