We will remind, it was September 1. After long months of debate and several delays, parking has officially become a charge for all two-wheelers in Paris. The event is aimed at reducing the circulation of these vehicles, as well as increasing the city’s income. If the measure was the subject of serious controversy, particularly from the French Federation of Angry Bikers (FFMC), it was finally implemented three months ago. Only 100% electric models are exempt from this obligation, which has already borne fruit Paris City Hall.
Long before automatic parking, here is an absolutely revolutionary innovation 😮 https://t.co/3tcBFavYv0

Lots of fines
In fact, according to official data, no less 200 thousand fine which would have already been distributed to violators since the introduction of paid parking for motorcycles and scooters. Obviously, a very high figure, which is most likely due to the ignorance of this measurement by many two-wheelers. Some may also not yet have the reflex, and then they are simply fooled. Finally, it is obviously very likely that a party will refuse to pay, no doubt for reasons of principle. According to the Paris City Hall, in October, 40% of two-wheelers correctly paid for parking in the capital.
Reduce the place of thermal
At the same time, it is more than 31,000 parking cards for two wheels that were distributed by the municipality, allowing residents to park for less. We remind you that the cost of parking motorcycles and scooters ranges from 2 to 3 euros per hour depending on the area and is limited to 6 hours. With this measure, the municipality wants to reduce the number of thermal scooters and motorcycles in favor of electric models, exempt from payment. Whether this strategy will work remains to be seen.
