Abstract

The work was dedicated to the topic of riding e-scooters in urban transport systems. These kind of new mobility solution is becoming more and more popular in the case of shared mobility operators and also the new social trend. It has been noticed by the authors that the appearance of a large number of e-scooters in urban traffic conditions, has caused many problems related to safety and legal issues. That problems occur in issues related to moving and park e-scooters on the streets, intersections as well as pavements. Because of that fact, the authors tried to indicate conditions for flowing movement of e-scooters in the city. The aim of the work was to present the concept of rules and recommendations for riding individual and shared e-scooters in the road network. In addition, the text also gives global examples of how e-scooters operate in urban transport systems.
