A University of Queensland study analyzed e-scooter riders' behavior in Brisbane before and after tighter regulations were introduced. The study looked at speed, helmet use, and riding locations. The road rules for e-scooters in Queensland were changed in November 2022 to enhance safety. Data from over 200 hours of traffic camera footage in eight Brisbane locations showed that most riders adhered to speed limits. Helmet compliance was high, especially among private e-scooter riders. The study highlighted differences in where public and private e-scooters are ridden, with infrastructure influencing rider behavior. The Queensland government has been proactive in communicating road rules changes, but there are recommendations for further education and enforcement.
The report, titled 'E-Scooter Movement Data Analysis,' was commissioned by the Queensland Government and submitted to the E-mobility Safety Inquiry. Queensland leads in e-scooter adoption with progressive regulations that enhance urban mobility.
