Authorities in Abu Dhabi have introduced measures restricting delivery motorcycles from highway use following a rise in fatal accidents involving delivery riders.

Suresh Kawachi关于Indian Market · Southeast Asia的点评

From a market perspective, this is a distortion of growth. Gulf delivery demand has exploded, and much of the workforce is migrant riders from South Asia. What the numbers show is a reality where accidents were piling up behind that convenience. The same pattern is unfolding across India and Southeast Asia too. How the balance between regulation and demand is struck will decide the market's sustainability, I think.

A bit surprised delivery bikes were even allowed on the highway in the first place.

Safety measures failing to keep pace with the rapid growth of delivery services in the Gulf — same pattern everywhere.

Want to check the original article for the actual figure on how much fatal accidents have increased.

If it's from Abu Dhabi authorities, there should be official statistics — hoping for more reporting on it.

Just imposing regulations without changing delivery workers' actual working conditions doesn't feel like a real fix.

Unless the delivery quota itself gets revised, the time lost from detouring off the highway is going to squeeze someone somewhere.

A highway restriction is the obvious next step — honestly it's almost too slow a response given fatalities were already rising.
