In Paris, free parking for motorcycles will end very soon! From the end of summer motorcycles will have to pay to park in the capital city. A measure coming into effect from September 1, 2022. At the end of summer, drivers will have to adapt! And for the moment, they are quite unhappy with their adaptation, according to the many demonstrations carried out in the city.
But, how will it happen, then? First, as for the parking areas, the Paris authorities said motorcycles must park on the 42,000 spots available, or on pay zones shared with cars. Leaving your scooter on the sidewalk or on a bicycle parking is out of question or be subject to parking ticket or impound.
