Starting on 7 August, a pilot project will be launched in collaboration with the electric scooter rental services Bolt and Tuul. This project aims to create 126 new spaces in the Tallinn city centre specifically designed for parking scooters. The purpose of this project is to make the city space more organised and to make the parking of light vehicles safer for pedestrians. Electric scooter users will have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the new parking places and their usage until the end of August. Starting from 1 September, the changes will become mandatory, meaning that electric vehicle rentals will only be allowed to end at the designated parking areas.

Temporary tram line no. 6, which was created due to construction works on the Vanasadama tram line, will continue operating on the Tondi-Kopli route at least until the end of September, when tram traffic on all other lines has been restored.

The city is considering the possibility of having line no. 6 operate on a permanent basis.

Due to ongoing roadworks in Tallinn City Centre, residents are advised to use public transport and plan extra time for their journeys. The challenging traffic conditions are partially alleviated in the autumn by the gradual restoration of tram lines and the reopening of several intersections for cars.
