Micromobility has emerged as a green mode of transport, which offers an innovative way to handle persistent traffic planning problems such as the last-mile connections with public transit. The integration of micromobility in urban infrastructure is a key challenge faced by public authorities, policy and urban planners. In this paper we present the results of a face-to-face street travel survey among e-scooter users in Paris about infrastructure-related issues. The great majority of the respondents are not owners of e-scooters, but they use the free-floating electric scooters (FFES), which is an increasingly popular shared mobility scheme. The responses have been analyzed statistically and cross-tabulations have been produced. They demonstrate that the users perceive riding on the cycle lane, the sidewalk (excluding cycle lane) and the sidewalk on a cycle lane as safe. On the contrary, they perceive as less safe driving the e-scooters on the cycle lane, the shared lane for bus/taxi/bicycle and the mixed traffic lane. Nonetheless, it is found that the users drive faster at the types of road infrastructure, which they consider less safe. |
