CETRAN-PR Resolution No. 106, of July 14, 2026, set guidelines for municipalities in Paraná to regulate the circulation of electric scooters, electric bicycles, and self-propelled individual mobility devices. The rule follows CONTRAN Resolution No. 996/2023 and clarifies where these devices may operate.
In practice, the maximum speed is 20 km/h on bike lanes, bike paths, and cycle routes. Circulation is also permitted, in the same direction as traffic and with priority over motor vehicles, on streets with a regulated speed of up to 40 km/h.
In properly signed pedestrian areas, the limit drops to 6 km/h. Circulation is prohibited on high-speed roads, roads above 40 km/h, exclusive bus lanes, highways, and sidewalks, unless expressly authorized with signage in place.
For those using scooters in Maringá or other cities in Paraná, the minimum age to ride on public roads is 16. Enforcement remains the responsibility of municipal authorities, which may establish additional rules.
What is CETRAN-PR Resolution No. 106/2026?
CETRAN-PR Resolution No. 106/2026 guides Paraná municipalities on the safe and regular circulation of electric individual mobility devices.
The document was published in July 2026 and took effect on the date of publication. It does not replace municipal legislation: it serves as a state guideline in line with CONTRAN Resolution No. 996/2023.
Therefore, anyone circulating in Maringá must observe both state and federal rules as well as Municipal Law No. 11.981/2025.
Where can electric scooters and bicycles circulate?
Electric scooters and bicycles may circulate on bike lanes, bike paths, and cycle routes, respecting the 20 km/h limit.
They may also occupy roads with a regulated speed of up to 40 km/h, always in the same direction as traffic and with priority over motor vehicles.
- Bike lanes, bike paths, and cycle routes: maximum 20 km/h;
- Roads up to 40 km/h: circulation in the same direction as traffic;
- Signed pedestrian areas: maximum 6 km/h;
- Sidewalks: circulation prohibited, unless expressly authorized and signed.
Where is circulation prohibited?
CETRAN-PR Resolution No. 106 prohibits circulation on high-speed roads, roads with speeds above 40 km/h, exclusive bus lanes, and highways.
The rule also prohibits sidewalk use, except when there is express authorization from the responsible authority and local signage. In Maringá, Municipal Law No. 11.981/2025 further sets a 6 km/h limit for sidewalks, squares, and parks when circulation is permitted.
Before starting a trip, check the signage and choose bike lanes, bike paths, or roads with compatible speed limits.
Minimum age and guardian responsibility
The minimum age to ride an electric scooter, electric bicycle, or similar device on public roads is 16 years.
Between 16 and under 18, authorization or responsibility of parents or guardians is required. They are also civilly liable for damages caused by the minor.
Federal rules continue to indicate that a driver's license (CNH) is not required for electric scooters classified as low-speed mobility devices, within applicable limits. Motorized scooters above 50 cc require a category A license.
Required equipment and helmet use
The device must include the mandatory items set out in CONTRAN Resolution No. 996/2023: bell, front, rear, and side night signaling, as well as an electronic speed indicator or limiter.
CETRAN-PR Resolution No. 106 recommends the use of at least a cycling helmet. In Maringá, Municipal Law No. 11.981/2025 requires the
