Road safety specialists have called for dedicated lanes for delivery riders, citing the rising number of accidents involving these commuters.
Road safety experts have urged authorities to create dedicated lanes for delivery riders, a move they say could significantly reduce the high rate of accidents involving these commuters.
The experts highlighted that the rapid growth of e‑commerce and food‑delivery services has led to a surge in motorbike and scooter traffic, often sharing narrow lanes with heavy vehicles and pedestrians.
They argue that dedicated lanes would separate delivery riders from other traffic, improving visibility and reducing collision risks.
The call comes after several high‑profile incidents involving delivery riders were reported in recent months, prompting the experts to seek immediate action from transport departments.
The Daily Excelsior reported the experts’ recommendation, noting that the proposal aligns with broader road safety initiatives aimed at protecting vulnerable road users.
