In a referendum on Sunday, which was closely watched by other capital cities, including London, Parisians voted to triple parking costs for SUVs, to tackle air pollution, climate breakdown, road safety and imposing a "form of social justice", by targetting rich drivers in heavy, large and polluting cars.
Kerbside parking for an SUV or 4x4 car will rise to €18 (£15) an hour in the centre and €12 an hour elsewhere in Paris: applied to ICE or or hybrid vehicles weighing over 1.6 tonnes, E cars above 2 tonnes. |
