Roeselare is stepping up its efforts to tackle dangerous behaviour involving electric scooters. With the rise in e-step use across Belgium, concerns about safety and adherence to traffic rules have grown. As of 2025-07-22 14:01:00, local authorities are preparing a focused campaign to address these issues head-on.
- Politie Roeselare voert actie tegen e-step
- 130 verkeersinbreuken met e-step geregistreerd
- E-step bereikt gevaarlijke snelheid van 95 km/u
- Politie richt zich op jongerenregels
- Stadswachters ondersteunen handhaving e-stepregels
This year alone, police in Roeselare have recorded 130 traffic violations related to electric scooters. Alarmingly, one scooter was found modified to reach speeds of 95 km/h, far beyond legal limits. The police and city wardens plan to target young riders in particular, raising awareness about the rules and risks.
How can the city ensure safer streets while encouraging responsible e-step use? And what measures will effectively reduce reckless behaviour? These questions highlight the need for clear communication and enforcement, setting the stage for the upcoming crackdown.
Why is this crackdown necessary? The increasing number of infractions signals a gap in awareness and compliance. Authorities must balance promoting sustainable transport with public safety. Key points include:
- High incidence of e-step traffic violations in Roeselare this year
- Extreme cases of speeding reaching 95 km/h endangering riders and others
- Targeted youth outreach to improve understanding of e-step regulations
- Collaboration between police and city wardens to ensure consistent enforcement
Moving forward, the success of this campaign depends on ongoing education and strict enforcement. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about e-step rules and ride responsibly to keep Roeselare’s streets safe for everyone.
