The police operation, deployed at strategic points in the town, combines informative and preventive tasks with strict verification of technical and circulation requirements for these vehicles. The main objective is to ensure road safety in the municipality and to educate users about the new regulatory framework.
Key aspects supervised by officers include the mandatory use of approved helmets, the use of reflective elements, proper functioning of lighting, vehicle registration and documentation, mandatory civil liability insurance, and the circulation certificate. Checks also confirm the rider is at least 15 years old, not using headphones or mobile phones, that the VMP is used by a single person, that drivers are not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and that the maximum speed of 25 km/h and authorized routes are respected.
This initiative is part of the ongoing efforts by the Mutxamel Local Police in road safety and sustainable mobility. The campaign aims to enhance prevention and training while controlling infractions that could endanger scooter users and other road users.
The Mutxamel City Council emphasizes that the campaign is primarily educational and preventive, not merely punitive. The goal is for users to understand their obligations and adopt responsible behaviors, especially given the significant increase in electric scooter usage.
This action reinforces the commitment of the council and the Local Police to sustainable mobility and peaceful coexistence among pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers. Checks will be conducted periodically to foster a safer urban environment for all citizens.
