Awesome, I hope this catches on, or at least serves as a tiny argument why egoists might not want to buy SUVs.
In our small town, you practically can’t park an SUV on most parking spaces without reaching into the also-far-too-narrow sidewalk or street, but law enforcement is far too lenient for the egoists to care.John now regretted moving to France and starting his car rental company for American tourists, specifically catered to cross polinate traffic protestors across the continents. “Liberty Convoy Services” was now in shambles.
What counts as an SUV? Suzuki LJ80? Lada Niva? Parking those costs more than parking a Rolls Royce Phantom or Lincoln Continental?
The prices will apply to vehicles weighing more than 1.6 tonnes with a combustion engine or hybrid vehicles, and more than 2 tonnes for electric vehicles. The move will not apply to Paris residents’ parking.
So sounds like it’s weight based, which makes sense I think
Yeah, weight is really the best method.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to base it on length and width? I’d assume there’s already various taxes on fuel consumption, but in parking, length and width are what actually matters.
Weight matters to the maintenance of the parking spaces too.
I’d assume that lack of space is a lot more critical than maintenance costs in Paris.
Which metric to use is also related to how they are going to enforce it. Surely they won’t weigh cars. It’s more realistic to base it on makes.
HA! TAKE THAT MAMAN FÚTBALL!
All five of the Pariesians that have SUVs gonna be pissed!
This law doesn‘t apply to locals, only visitors.
Yeah, this bit is unfortunate but understandable
Kinda, if they use their car to move around Paris (i.e. parking far from their home address) they’ll have to pay the fee.
There are lots of SUVs in Paris unfortunately. If you have kids and your car is a status symbol for you, SUVs are the default choice in France…
Paris complains sales down
Park your tank in the park and ride and use the public transport in the city. It’s not hard to understand: https://www.parisfranceparking.com/news/park-and-ride-carpark-paris.html
