Initially scheduled for next January, the entry into force of paid parking for two-wheelers is finally postponed to September 1, 2022.
Good news for the many bikers and scooter riders who travel to the capital every day. While they too should have paid for parking from January 1, this measure, strongly contested, was finally put on hold. It should therefore not come into force until September 1, 2022, leaving a little breathing room for two-wheeler owners.

Monthly subscriptions displayed respectively at € 90 and € 70 were also to be implemented, making it possible to lower the price of parking to € 1.20 and € 0.80 per hour depending on the zones.
