Sagunto Launches Two-Week E‑Scooter Crackdown as Mollet Reports Surge in Fines

The operation enforces Sagunto's VMP rules with €60–€200 fines, signaling mandatory liability insurance next year.

Overview

  • Sagunto's Local Police began a targeted VMP control campaign on Nov. 10, running through Nov. 23 across the municipality.
  • The local ordinance sets a minimum age of 15 and a top speed of 25 km/h, permits bike lanes, and forbids sidewalks or pedestrian zones.
  • Riders may not carry passengers or use headphones or mobile phones while riding, with required lights and front‑rear reflectors plus high‑visibility gear at night.
  • Offenses carry €60–€200 penalties, helmet use is recommended, and civil liability insurance will be compulsory next year under Sagunto's rules.
  • Separately, Mollet del Vallès reports 406 sanctions so far in 2025—348 for e‑scooters and 58 for bicycles—prompting reinforced controls and awareness work coordinated with the Servei Català de Trànsit.
