Couriers in Russia will be prohibited from driving on sidewalks. The Ministry of Transportation has developed a parallel amendment to the traffic rules. The document states that the delivery workers ride not only on electric scooters, but also on powerful mopeds, and in the event of a collision with pedestrians, the latter may be seriously injured. Kommersant clarifies that the work on the document took three years. The changes were discussed several times in different places. The Ministry of Transportation intends to publish the final version of the document for public discussion in the near future. We will recall that in March of this year, President Vladimir Putin ordered to consider a ban on sidewalks for messengers delivering orders on electric bicycles. Photo: Natalia Gubernaturova.
