The city of San Diego impounded approximately 2,500 dockless scooters and bicycles over the weekend of Comic-Con 2019.Β
Crews say the scooters and bicycles were presenting public safety hazards because riders were parking them in areas that blocked sidewalks, walkways, and ramps.Β
The fine for each of confiscated rental bike or scooter is $65. The hope is that the fee will encourage the device companies to be more proactive about enforcing the rules, according to a city spokesperson.
