Panama City authorities are pushing forward with a comprehensive revision of Panama traffic regulations<\/a><\/strong> to address the surging presence of motorcycles and electric scooters on the nation’s roadways. Nicol\u00e1s Brea, director of the Transit and Land Transport Authority (ATTT), confirmed the regulatory update during a Monday interview, citing the need to adapt rules that have lagged behind shifting mobility patterns since 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brea revealed that approximately 100,000 motorcycles are currently registered<\/a> nationwide, a figure drawn from vehicle inspection and registration<\/a> databases. These two-wheeled vehicles have moved beyond delivery services and weekend recreation to become a daily commuting staple for thousands of Panamanians, creating new pressures on road safety enforcement<\/a> and driver education<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
