Illegal E-Scooter Use

Curbing Illegal Use with Strategic E-Scooter Signs

Private e‑scooters remain illegal on UK roads, pavements, and public spaces, but their popularity continues to soar. With an estimated 750,000 private e‑scooters currently in use, and over half of e‑scooter-related casualties involving privately owned models, the need for clear, visible messaging has never been greater.

Signage and stickers are powerful tools to help tackle this challenge:

  • They clearly define prohibited zones, informing riders that only trial rental schemes are permitted in public spaces.
  • They reinforce legal boundaries, reminding individuals that riding a private e‑scooter can lead to seizure, fines, and penalty points under UK law.
  • They support enforcement efforts, making it easier for authorities to take action when breaches occur.
  • They boost public awareness, helping pedestrians and riders understand the risks and rules through well-designed visual cues.

 

Studies show confusion surrounding e‑scooter legality, with over 64% of people unaware of the rules around private e‑scooter use. That knowledge gap can lead to unsafe behaviour—but the right signage helps close it.

With durable, weather-resistant signs and stickers, NSP can help councils and organisations promote clarity, compliance, and public safety. If you want to tackle the private e‑scooter issue in your community, we’re here to support your efforts.
