While several Portuguese municipalities are imposing restrictions on shared scooters, Coimbra is preparing to move forward with a new concession and regulation for this type of vehicle. Coimbra's city council argues there is no need to eliminate scooters from the city, adopting a different approach from other municipalities that have limited their use.
The municipality is working on a specific regulatory framework to discipline the circulation and parking of shared scooters. This strategy contrasts with the national trend of greater control or prohibition of these vehicles in public spaces.
Coimbra's decision reflects an attempt to find a balance between innovation in urban mobility and the safety of citizens, without resorting to extreme measures of complete elimination of scooters.
