Public transport cuts will result in even more scooters in Amsterdam, Fietsersbond, Milieucentrum Amsterdam and Vélo Mondial warn. Today they will present Alderman Eric Wiebes with a petition against scooter nuisance singed by almost six thousand people.
The initiators want the most polluting motors banned; they want all scooters banned from bicycle paths and they want stricter enforcement of the speed limit. Research found that 94% of scooters on bicycle paths speed.
The Fietsersbond – a cyclists’ organisation – and Milieucentrum Amsterdam – an environmental organisation – have received many complaints on scooters. “Danger, polluting exhaust fumes and noise, a minority of road users is doing disproportionate damage to the peace and quite and to the health of all Amsterdammers”, Director Jupijn Haffmans of the Milieucentrum Amsterdam said.
