Shenzhen: Police to restrict shared bikes to prevent congestion, chaos
Various bicycles are parked at a subway entrance in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, April 4, 2017. Police in southern metropolis Shenzhen Friday said they were mulling restrictions on the use of shared bikes, especially during holidays, to ward off road congestion and potential public chaos. Police said about 520,000 bikes had been put on the streets in the city in just a year since bike sharing began. Police said they are now partnering with bike sharing firms to launch a joint command to monitor the number of bikes in designated areas to prevent congestion or chaos on the road. According to the plan, if the accumulation of bikes in a certain area hits a certain number, a warning system will be activated that blocks bikes entering, with cyclists notified via a mobile app.
