Following traffic rules is vital for ensuring your safety and that ofothers when riding electric scooters, bikes, or skateboards. Adhering to theserules not only helps prevent accidents but also promotes a harmoniouscoexistence with other road users.

Just like cars, electric ride users must stop at red lights, obey stop signs, and yield to pedestrians. Ignoring these signals can lead to dangerous collisions and legal consequences. Familiarize yourself with all relevant traffic signs and signals to navigate safely.

Whenever available, ride in designated bike lanes. These lanes are specifically designed for the safety of cyclists and electric ride users, providing a space separate from vehicular traffic. If bike lanes are not available, ride as close to the right side of the road as possible, moving with the flow of traffic.

Clearly signal your turns and lane changes to inform other road users of your movements. Use hand signals: extend your left arm out to signal a left turn, your right arm out for a right turn, and your left arm downward to indicate stopping or slowing down. This communication helps prevent misunderstandings and collisions.

Always yield to pedestrians, especially at crosswalks. Do not ride on sidewalks unless local laws permit it. When riding on shared pathways, reduce your speed and give an audible signal, such as ringing a bell or saying "on your left," when overtaking pedestrians.

Never ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Impaired judgment and reaction times significantly increase the risk of accidents.

Stay focused on the road and avoid distractions such as using mobile phones, listening to music with headphones, or engaging in conversations while riding. Distractions can impair your ability to react to sudden changes in traffic conditions.

Adhere to speed limits and adjust your speed according to the riding environment. Slow down in residential areas, school zones, and crowded spaces to ensure the safety of all road users.

Continuously scan the environment for potential hazards, such as opening car doors, sudden stops, or debris on the road. Staying alert allows you to anticipate and react to dangers promptly.
