Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 43534, member: 636"] St. Petersburg banned electric scooters and bikes during the economic forum. Officials stopped people from riding personal mobility devices across six districts. The city blocked electric skateboards, gyro scooters, segways and unicycles from streets. Workers cannot use these devices or park them anywhere. The ban covers Admiralteysky, Vasileostrovsky, Moskovsky, Petrogradsky, Pushkinsky and Central areas. Rules start at midnight June 18 and end at 4 PM on June 22. Police want to keep crowds safe during the international business meeting. City leaders made the decision through their emergency operations center. The Transport Committee announced the restrictions across affected neighborhoods. Electric motor vehicles face complete prohibition during forum days. Officials hope to prevent accidents and maintain order. The temporary rules help protect thousands of visitors attending the event. [/QUOTE]
