(Borough of Braintree) (E-Scooter) Order 2022
Notice is hereby given that the Essex County Council has made the above Order under Sections 1(1) and (2), and 2(1) to (3) and Part IV of Schedule 9 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 84 as amended, the Electric Scooter Trials and Traffic Signs (Coronavirus) Regulations and General Directions 2020 and pursuant to the order made by the Department of Transport under Section 44 and Section 63(5) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 as amended which provides that an authorised operator can permit their rental electric scooters to be used on roads within the geo fenced area of Braintree (as outlined on the website) during an authorised trial. Essex County Council has made an order, the effect of which will be to allow electric scooters to be used in those cycle tracks and cycle lanes within the geo fenced area of Braintree which are either restricted for use by traffic and which permit pedal cycles or solo motorcycles to use these road spaces.
Effect of the order: The original trial period for Essex has been extended by The Department for Transport to allow for additional detailed data gathering. In order to ensure the legitimacy of the use on those cycle tracks and cycle lanes within the geo fenced area of Braintree which are either restricted for use by traffic and which permit pedal cycles or solo motorcycles the experimental order made on 18 January 2021 is now being made permanent. The original provider of e-scooters in Essex "Spin" globally became a part of TIER Mobility AG in Spring 2022. TIER will manage the trials until their current end date of November 2022. The existing fleet of vehicles will be replaced overnight in each area to avoid their being two services operating. Under the new Transport Bill introduced in the 2022 Queen's Speech, private electric scooters will eventually legally be allowed to ride on public roads. However, details of the Bill or a timeline for implementation are yet to be published.
Date of operation: The Order came into operation on 15 July 2022.
