Couriers will be prohibited from driving on sidewalks - the Ministry of Transportation has prepared wide-ranging amendments to the 18+ traffic laws. This material (information) is produced, distributed and (or) sent by a foreign agent of the Internet publication "NOVAYA GAZETA" or relates to the activities of a foreign agent of the online publication "NOVAYA GAZETA". The Ministry of Transportation has finished work on a draft of wide-ranging changes to the traffic rules and will soon publish a document for public discussion, the department reported. One of the most important innovations is the ban on couriers traveling on sidewalks. The Ministry of Transportation explained that delivery workers use not only electric scooters, but also powerful mopeds, which are dangerous for pedestrians in the event of a collision. At the same time, other users of personal mobility devices (IM) will remain able to ride on sidewalks, but only in the absence of bike lanes and special lanes. For sim owners weighing more than 35 kg, the ban will apply in any case. Other amendments include: - Prohibition of traveling on electric scooters and other sims together. Now this is already detailed in the rules of the proposal when installing a kick-sharing application, but the Ministry of Transportation proposes to unify the restrictions as a federal norm; - the obligation of owners of powerful electric bicycles to present category M licenses; - Possibility of introducing paid parking for personal mobility devices. We will remind you that in December 2025, in a meeting with the Human Rights Council, Putin complained about messengers traveling on the sidewalks. Later in March, Putin ordered the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of the Interior to consider the possibility of restricting such traffic.
