In a bid to prevent e-scooter related injury, the Brisbane City Council has introduced new measures in a six month trial. 

From the first of December e-scooters will be locked between midnight and 5am in known party districts like Fortitude valley. Speed limits will also be reduced during this time for the rest of the CBD. 

Councillor Ryan Murphy says, “This is about making sure people don't make a mistake that will cause them life-long consequences.”
