Is it legal to cross a pedestrian crossing on an electric scooter? SIC Verifica explains
Electric scooters are legally classified as bicycles (velocípedes) under the Highway Code, meaning users must dismount and push them to be considered pedestrians at a crosswalk. Crossing while mounted on the scooter is a traffic violation, subject to a fine between 30 and 150 euros.
Why it matters
If you ride an electric scooter, you must dismount at pedestrian crossings to avoid traffic fines, as you are legally considered a vehicle driver rather than a pedestrian while mounted.SIC NotíciasRead original ↗
