New South Wales considers e-scooter laws for public spaces, banning under 16s, with speed limits and helmet use.
The New South Wales government is considering new laws to allow e-scooters to operate in public spaces, banning users under 16. Proposed regulations permit e-scooters on bike paths and shared pathways, enforcing speed limits of 20 km/h and a maximum of 50 km/h on roads. Riders must wear helmets and adhere to a 0.05 blood alcohol limit. Local councils would manage regulations, aiming to reduce car trips and improve access to public services.
