A new draft bill tabled in Parliament on Tuesday regulates the use of electric roller skates, rollers, skateboards, and self-balancing scooters in cities, ANA reports.
The bill, titled “Greece in motion: Viable urban mobility/micro-mobility; Regulations for the modernization, simplification and digitization of Ministry of Infrastructure & Transport procedures”, also requires towns with a population of over 30,000 to provide a Plan for Viable Urban Mobility that guarantees safety for residents and is environmentally friendly.
Other regulations include permission for vehicles of 6 km/hr maximum speed to be used at pedestrian walkways, and for those able to travel at between 6 and 25 km/hr to be treated as bicycles. Both are prohibited from traveling on high-speed roads (of over 50 km/h).
