In Atlanta, three riders have died since May in crashes that involved a public bus, an SUV and a car. Police in the Atlanta suburb of East Point say a fourth rider was killed there Tuesday in a collision involving his scooter and a truck. “This environment didn’t exist 14 months ago or 12 months ago — this is a brand new thing,” Tim Keane, Atlanta’s commissioner of city planning, said in an interview Thursday.City officials have asked e-scooter vendors to disable the devices during the hours they’re banned, the mayor said. The companies are cooperating, and “I’ve heard no pushback at all,” Keane said.
Late-night and early-morning travel, especially between midnight and 5 a.m., is “many times more dangerous due to impaired road users, fatigue and poor visibility,” Bird said. The company has managed its service hours to avoid late night riding, and will comply with Atlanta’s new guidelines, it added.
Other communities, including Dallas; Nashville, Tennessee; and Athens, Georgia, have recently considered some form of regulation of scooters, partly over concerns about safety.
