he Jakarta Transportation Agency will issue a regulation on micromobility by December amid the rising popularity of e-scooters in the capital.
The agency’s traffic management head, Priyanto, said a draft of the policy was being finalized and would be issued in the form of a gubernatorial decree.
“The point is that the city is always open to technological developments, including e-scooters,” Priyanto told the press on Monday.
“The gubernatorial decree will contain detailed rules on the use of e-scooters and other micromobility vehicles such as skateboards, inline skates and conventional scooters; it aims to ensure security, safety and public order,” he added.
Priyanto went on to say that the decree would refer to Law No. 22/2009 on road traffic.
The decree, according to him, would regulate the use of micromobility vehicles that could only be operated in bike lanes and within certain complexes. The modes of transportation would not be allowed on footbridges and must operate at a maximum speed of 20 kilometers per hour.
Adding to that, riders should also comply with safety rules, such as wearing helmets and not violating other traffic regulations.
