13: Micro-scooter Parking

Principle 11

Provision for micro-scooters parking should be considered on developments for education, or work where their use is more commonplace. Provision is in addition to the cycle parking standards.

13.1 The use of micro-scooters as a mode of transport for children and adults using for school or work travel, as well as leisure purposes has become more commonplace. However, they are particularly associated with school trips and in addition to the cycle provision, foot propelled scooter facilities should be provided within the curtilage of the school sites at the same ratio as the short stay cycle requirements.

13.2 Such facilities should be under cover, in safe well-lit areas, ideally lockable and near all the main entrances. Scooter parking can generally either be lockable racks or ground stands.
