Recent collisions involving e-scooters are a reminder that everyone has a role to play in keeping our roads safe.
If you're planning to use an e-scooter, first, make sure they're permitted in your community. Municipal bylaws determine where e-scooters can be used, and some communities may prohibit them altogether.
If e-scooters are allowed where you live, provincial rules require riders to:
✅ Be at least 16 years old,
✅ Wear an approved helmet,
✅ Ride sober,
✅ Only drive on roads with 50 km/h or less speed limits (your municipality may lower this limit or prohibit operation on certain roads),
✅ Use an e-scooter that meets equipment standards,
✅ Drive alone (no passengers),
✅ Not tow anything.
⚠️Additional local rules may also apply
A few minutes of preparation can help prevent a collision and keep everyone sharing the road safely.
