Pasler commented on the scooter ban in Yekaterinburg.

      Sverdlovsk Oblast Governor Denis Pasler said during a live Q&A that a complete ban on personal mobility devices (PMDs) is impractical, but their use should be regulated in places where people gather in large numbers.

      "I have repeatedly said that the city is primarily for its residents. We must create conditions so that people feel safe and comfortable," Ura.Ru quotes the governor as saying.

      He acknowledged that there are many accidents involving scooters in the region, but they are still a fairly good means of getting around in a big city. However, restrictions may be introduced in places with large concentrations of pedestrians and tourists. According to him, some measures to improve safety have already been adopted: a speed limit has been introduced and some areas have been closed to scooters. Authorities promise to reconsider the issue of regulating scooter use in the region.

      Earlier, the speaker of Yekaterinburg City Duma proposed mandatory verification of scooter riders.
