Deputy Tsibilev: The ban on messengers traveling on sidewalks will not work. The Ministry of Transportation proposes to move messengers on electric bicycles and scooters that weigh more than 25 kilograms from the sidewalks to the road. However, the head of the legislative assembly's transport committee, Alexey Tsibilev, doubts that the ban will be effectively enforced. After all, inspectors will have to check the vehicle's weight and power, and even experts have difficulty with this because of replaceable batteries. There are also concerns about safety: if couriers pass en masse on the roads, the number of accidents with cars could increase. Expert Dmitry Popov draws attention to this. While the amendments are under public debate, the question of their implementation remains open. Read us at MAX! | Call us on Telegram.
