RTA states “Do no use the cycling track for purpose other than what it is designated for.” In some places there are signs ‘no pedestrians’. The rules could be more clearly and more comprehensively formulated. Check out the current wording:

Any article about this? kindly send a link if there’s any.

Thanks for your comment. I fully agree with you that we need a clear understanding of of the traffic rules with regards to residential areas / gated communities, especially with regards to micro-mobility. We also articulated this need from our side and we are certain the regulators are already looking into it.

Drive safely!

Is it mandatory for the parents to be present all the time with the kids? If so, how is it even possible with elder kids of age 10 and above ?

We are not entirely sure what is meant here, but it’s always good to approach police or RTA with improvement proposals with regards to needful signage, etc.

Drive safely,

(Since there are no signs on the other side of the boulevard) .
Walking on the side of the boulevard without bicycle paths ways the same things happened in both direction.
We are not save because in front and in the back , at high speed .
one would have to have eyes front and back !
SomethImg should be done to prevent an accident that could be very serious .
Please do something for the safety of all concerned
