What Should Drivers Know About Scooter Safety?

Scooter riders can be particularly vulnerable when traveling near motor vehicles, especially at intersections where vehicles may be turning or crossing paths. Drivers should remain alert for scooters, bicycles, and other smaller vehicles and carefully check their surroundings before turning or entering an intersection.

Scooter riders can also reduce their risk by following traffic signals, staying visible to motorists, and using designated lanes or paths when available. Both motorists and scooter riders should exercise extra caution around intersections. Allowing additional time to identify other road users can help prevent potentially serious collisions.
