As part of the "Vienna Rolls Safely" campaign, the Vienna police took action this week against e-scooter and e-roller rowdies, as well as other "traffic offenders".

Due to various traffic law violations, around 450 reports were filed, 225 of which were for speeding. 104 on-the-spot fines were issued. Of the reports filed, nearly 50 and of the on-the-spot fines issued, 35 were related to e-scooters and e-rollers.

E-scooters reached over 40 km/h

During an inspection on the mobile roller test stand, four checked e-scooters reached excessive speeds between 41 and 47 km/h. The allowed maximum speed is 25 km/h. The offending drivers were reported. Four other e-scooter or e-roller drivers were reported for alcohol or other intoxicants and were also brought to report.

Several City Police Commands

The focus action was carried out by the Vienna State Traffic Department together with the city police commands of Josefstadt, Favoriten, and Floridsdorf. "Through the committed intervention of all officers, a significant contribution to increasing traffic safety was once again made," police spokeswoman Anna Gutt summarized on Saturday.
