All e-scooters and e-bikes are now banned in the Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) community to boost the safety of residents and visitors. Dubai Holding confirmed to Khaleej Times on Thursday that this decision is aimed at preventing accidents and ensuring a safer environment. Battery-powered mobility devices are being restricted on the ground and plaza levels of The Walk. Notices in Arabic and English with crossed-out icons of e-bikes and e-scooters have been prominently installed in the area.
“The vibrant tourist hotspot and family-friendly community JBR has restricted the use of e-scooters on the ground and plaza levels of The Walk. This measure aims to ensure the safety of residents and visitors, prevent accidents and maintain the pedestrian-friendly appeal of the area,” Dubai Holding said in a statement.
