UAE to limit car registrations per person and lower e-scooter age

· Politics · United Arab Emirates

The UAE will introduce a limit on the number of cars one person can register and will lower the minimum age for e-scooter use, The National reported. The measures are part of efforts to manage vehicle ownership and regulate a fast-growing micromobility sector. The change affects residents and businesses in a country where car ownership is high and e-scooters have become popular for short urban trips.

Why it matters：The rules show Gulf governments moving to regulate vehicle ownership and new mobility modes as cities grow, a policy trend likely to spread across the region.

Key points

  • The UAE will cap how many cars one person can register.
  • The minimum age for e-scooter use will be lowered.
  • The measures target vehicle ownership and micromobility.
