Russia may ban couriers from driving on sidewalks The Russian Ministry of Transport has proposed an amendment to the traffic rules that would ban couriers from driving on sidewalks. The office emphasized that couriers use not only electric scooters, but also powerful mopeds, so a collision with a pedestrian can cause serious injuries. Work on the document lasted three years, changes were discussed on various sites. The department will submit the final version for public discussion in the near future.
