Law Change Allows E-Scooters to Be Used on Roads and Footpaths in SA

  • South Australia will legalise e-scooters, e-skateboards, and similar devices for riders over 16 on roads and footpaths starting July 13, 2025.
  • The government introduced these new laws to regulate rising use and address safety concerns linked to reckless riding and unclear compliance.
  • Key rules include speed limits of 60 km/h on roads, 25 km/h in bike lanes, 10 km/h on footpaths, mandatory helmets, and bans on mobile phone use and intoxicated riding.
  • Transport Minister Koutsantonis stated, "there would be hefty consequences," including fines and loss of demerit points, while RAA’s Charles Mountain called it a "great step forward."
  • The legislation aims to reduce congestion and promote carbon-free transport, with planned education campaigns and ongoing regulatory reviews to ensure safety.
