Thursday is the last day Atlantans can ride e-scooters and e-bikes at night. Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has banned nighttime riding.

The move comes after four scooter-related deaths in Metro Atlanta.

All four people who died were hit by vehicles. All at night or early in the morning. The latest was a man in East Point who ran a red light and was hit by a truck.
