Safe footpaths for pedestrians
Do you like to walk? Most people do, it is our most popular recreation in New Zealand and the most climate-friendly healthy way to get around every day. Do you think footpaths should be safe for pedestrians to have a nice pleasant walk wherever they want to go? It's time to take action to take back footpaths from escooters.
Sign this petition from the Disabled Persons Assembly for safe footpaths.

New Zealand escooter use is one of the least regulated in the world, it means that pedestrians often feel unsafe out walking as escooters whizz past and frequently have to navigate around escooters all over the footpath. For some people this is not a big deal, for others it means they can not get out and do what they need to. I have been stuck at home with escooters blocking my gate on several occasions. It's ok, I can climb over the fence and drag them away. A friend said today he has been poked in the eye by hard-to-see escooter handles at night - he is in a wheelchair. Our MP Ibrahim Omer has been knocked off his feet by an escooter rider. There are many similar stories. Not everyone can walk around or move a heavy escooter.
Waka Kotahi the NZ Transport Agency has a survey about escooter regulation. Take the survey and say no to renewing the Gazette notice that allows escooters to use footpaths. There are many better options to regulate escooters to use the road and cycle lanes. Treat escooters like ebikes.
