E-scooters aren’t Allgood in Barkly Street

RECKLESS e-scooter riding is becoming an all-too-familiar sight in Ararat, according to local police. Sergeant Shane Allgood says officers are increasingly concerned by the behaviour of riders on the town’s footpaths and roads. He said the most common issue is riders using footpaths, despite the practice being illegal under Victorian road rules.
