UAE authorities have added signboards warning Kite Beach visitors of AED300 fines if you use e-scooters or bikes on the jogging track and boardwalk.
Kite Beach’s move comes after authorities banned the use of electric scooters in public parks. Dubai Municipality stated that electric scooters are banned in parks to avoid accidents.
The post also reminds residents that the maximum speed limit for cyclists is 15km/h. E-scooters could go for 20km/h and some residents have complained that they pose dangers in public areas where people frequently walk.
