E-scooter chaos in Rostock: City requires clear order for security!
Rostock, Deutschland - In Rostock, the e-scooters are once again the focus of the public discussion. The factions of the left, Greens and Volt have teamed up and require clearer rules for the use and parking of the electrical scooters in the city. According to the NDR, complaints are reported on carelessly parked e-scooters that block sidewalks and make walking more difficult for people who are reduced to mobility and families with strollers.
Christian Albrecht, the chairman of the left faction, emphasizes how important it is to ensure security and order in public space. It makes it clear that the city should not only take responsibility for the use of the e-scooters, but also for their parking. With an application that is to be brought in in the next citizenship meeting, the political groups are committed to the introduction of a fair, traffic-safe free floating system, where the e-scooters can be borrowed and parked without fixed stations.
clear parking and control
The new application aims to improve the municipal control of the e-scooter and create a system that makes it difficult for providers to easily turn it off at sidewalks, stops or on the blind control strips. Specific measures such as geofencing and photo documentation should help prevent improper parking. Christian Albrecht calls for an urban development of operating and parking zones that address this problem.
The discussion about the parking of the e-scooter is also more widened in the important debate about the quality of life in Rostock. Traffic is viewed as a central to work, education and leisure. The German City Day shows that transport policy is crucial for quality of life, health and also for the environment. More and more cities are committed to finding sustainable mobility solutions, although Rostock shouldn't have any deficit here.
The relevant applicants emphasize that the city administration and the providers of e-scooters should jointly develop a concept in order to take this challenging topic into account. The legal liability of the providers for incorrectly parked scooters is also required to distribute responsibility more clearly.
a look ahead
This application will be discussed in various committees in the coming weeks and a decision in the citizens is planned for July 23. The city is faced with the task of integrating the e-scooters not only as a practical means of transportation, but also as part of a secure and equal transport system. Rostock could thus be a role model when it comes to making modern mobility responsibly and making traffic more stress -free for everyone.
At the beginning of July, the debate about the e-scooter business in Rostock should continue to pick up speed, and the citizens can hope for clear solutions that take into account both the fun of new mobility and the safety in road traffic.
