Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority, in collaboration with Dubai Police, has officially launched a joint specialized unit to monitor personal mobility devices, marking a significant escalation in regulating this rapidly growing sector.

The newly formed unit will begin operations on May 1, 2026, covering a wide network that includes cycling tracks, major roads, and flexible mobility zones across Dubai, ensuring comprehensive oversight of users.

This initiative is designed to enforce strict compliance with traffic regulations governing personal mobility devices, especially as their usage continues to rise as a convenient daily transport option across the city.

Authorities emphasized that the move is part of a broader strategy to enhance road safety and reduce risky behaviors that could endanger road users, including cyclists and electric scooter riders.

Through these measures, Dubai aims to establish a safer and more sustainable mobility environment, supporting innovation in modern transport while maintaining the highest safety standards for everyone on the road.
