Brno forbids unicycles in the pedestrian zone. He is also going to the insolent drivers without permissions

« We assume that the regulation of the ban on the operation of single -rounds will apply from July, » said the municipality's spokesman Filip Poňuchálek.

Since last autumn, the Brno-střed city district has been banned from the ban on single wheels and electric scooters since last autumn Due to repeated complaints of pedestrians. She justified her efforts to the safety of pedestrians moving along the streets of the city center.

« The newly approved ban is based on the wider agreement of our city district, the municipality and operators of shared electric scooters, » said Deputy Mayor of Brno-střed Zdeněk Machů (YES). According to the Municipal Councilor for Transport Petr Kratochvíl (ODS), unicycles for pedestrians are much more dangerous than scooters.

However, the Machů wants to monitor the course of this season with regard to the requirements for scooters this season and later evaluate whether it is worth expanding the new restrictions to these machines. « Over time, the regulation may change, » Machů said.

According to Poňuchálek earlier statement, the possibility of using scooters would be too much to limit the possibilities of their use. « Electric scooters will have reduced speed in the pedestrian zone. At the same time, users would postpone them from the pedestrian zone and only one person would be able to use them, » the spokesman added.

Today, the approved regulation stipulates that moncolists must not enter most of the streets of the historic center, where even car drivers cannot normally be carried. In addition to the aforementioned streets, there are also the Zelný trh, Jakubské Square and Joštov and part of Moravské Square around the statue of Jošt.

According to the experience of police officers who move daily in the streets of Brno, the vast majority of single -round users are couriers. In the city, they work for Bolt Food, Foodora and Wolt, which agree that this type of food delivery is not too common. Their numbers move in units, at most lower tens.

Last autumn to make a single -rounder They focused on the check -ups of national police officers. In a week they imposed more than two dozen fines in the sum for almost 10 thousand crowns. At that time, they pointed out that single -wheelers have to ride the sidewalk by law, at a speed comparable to walking. They can only aim on the road if it has a lane reserved for cyclists or cyclists.

« I'm moving as fast as a car, fifty. I tried a scooter and a bike, but I drove at a lower speed, a maximum of twenty -five, and a car driver, especially a taxi and food delivery, was very close to me, » the man explained to the reporter's iDNES.cz directly at Svoboda Square. He also stressed that he had not yet had a single accident. « I don't drive on the sidewalks because they are narrow and there are a lot of people on them, » he said.

In addition to single -round users, the city management also wants to limit unauthorized cars of cars to the historic center, so that it does not look like a « highway » in the city center. Some drivers have collected hundreds of violations of entrance in a year without permission. The physical barriers in the form of pull -out columns that would prevent the main « pull » to the central Svobody Square should help. Already today people know these obstacles from the surrounding streets.

When the columns in both streets begin to prevent the drivers from the drivers, it is not yet clear. « At the moment, there is no ready check of the possibility of this measure, » Poňuchálek said.
