A prefectural decree has been issued in Corbas to regulate the use of Motorized Personal Mobility Devices (EDPMs), including electric scooters, gyropods, and hoverboards. These new measures aim to enhance road safety for all users.
From now on, wearing a helmet and a high-visibility vest or reflective equipment is mandatory for all EDPM riders. These rules apply day and night, on all roads open to traffic, including cycle paths.
To operate an EDPM, individuals must be at least 14 years old, be insured, not exceed 25 km/h, and ride alone on the device. It is also crucial to ensure the device complies with current standards.
Failure to comply with these regulations may result in a fine of up to €135, depending on the infraction. As part of a prevention initiative, the Municipal Police will engage with users and distribute reflective vests.
These measures are designed to protect everyone on the road. In Corbas, your safety is our priority.
