Dedicated parking racks for e-scooters have been rolled out across Nottingham following safety concerns and calls for the scrapping of the scheme. The new racks have been placed in 10 different areas of the city, including Nottingham Railway Station, to make pavements safer.
Superpedestrian, which took over from WIND, says it has teamed up with a Swedish design company called Standab that specialises in "micro-mobility infrastructure solutions". The company has design the parking stations alongside the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) to ensure the racks will help partially-sighted pedestrians navigate their surroundings.
The side panels also feature safety advice and riding rules to encourage positive user behaviour, the company says. The parking stations come as charitable groups continue to raise concerns over the e-scooters.
