Like cars?
That doesn't seem to bother anyone.
- thecatspaw 8y agoif you're not on a parking spot, then yes it bothers people, and you can get fines for it.

- fjsolwmv 8y agoWhy do we have parking spots but no scooter spots or bike spots?
- thecatspaw 8y agoThats a different issue though. But to answer: Because people pay taxes for their vehicles, so the government uses a portion of that to pave roads, and provide some parking spaces. Also some parking spaces are paid for by the hour. So if you are willing to pay scooter taxes, then Im sure that they would also provide scooter spots.
- bahro 8y agoTaxes on vehicles and gasoline do not remotely cover the costs of road construction, let alone the costs of urban parking. Private vehicles are intensely subsidized.
- avisser 8y agoI live in Athens, GA. * Two-lane road with no shoulder? Fine to park. * Pull it up on the sidewalk? Fine to park. It's a pro-car, it's-okay-unless-the-curb-is-yellow shitshow. The previous poster was being slightly flip, but even in the US, there are places where you can put your car almost anywhere.
