In order to ensure safe traffic and orderly street view, Terézváros will require the parking of electric scooters from February 1 on a public use permit.
Electric scooters often lie in the middle of the sidewalk, at the entrance to the houses, obstructing traffic. Scooters either sidestep pedestrians on the sidewalk - which the Interior says are irregular - or endanger themselves on the driveway, between cars.
VI. Because of the extremely narrow streets in the district, the conditions for safe scooting are not provided - reads the announcement to MTI.
Electric scooters in Budapest today are used primarily by tourists instead of public transport and walking, rather than by people living in the city. "In addition, electric scooter companies use public spaces in the district without providing any compensation for the damage done, or giving anything back to the area's residents," they said.
