🚔 Public Safety Notice – E-Bikes & Scooters 🚔

The Martins Ferry Police Department has seen an increase in complaints involving the unsafe operation of E-bikes, motorized bicycles, and electric scooters throughout the city.

Effective immediately, officers will be actively enforcing Ohio traffic laws and city ordinances related to these devices. Operators are reminded to obey all traffic signs and signals, yield the right-of-way, use required lighting equipment, and operate safely at all times.

Our goal is education, voluntary compliance, and public safety. Thank you for helping keep Martins Ferry safe for everyone.
