KUWAIT: Kuwait's traffic authorities imposed a ban on delivery motorbikes on highways and Ring Roads starting from October 3, 2021 due to a rise in accidents. According to the Traffic General Department, the new regulation, issued to 'streamline the delivery motorcycle service' in the country, prohibits bikes delivering items to use the first, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh Ring Roads, in addition to roads 30, 40, 50, 60 and 80, as well as Jamal Abdul-Nasser Road and Jaber Causeway. Delivery services on bikes have reportedly mushroomed in Kuwait in recent months due to the COVID-19 restrictions.
