I have proposed this before in my city, ticket the e-scoter company for improper parking not the users.
Most of these business have gps trackers on them they will quickly find a way to enforce proper parking onto users.
We need to stop externalizing problems away from companies.

- mikeodds 4y agoI’ve seen Lime have the inverse (ie non parking zones) in various US cities where you will be warned then billed (I think $50! in Venice beach) if you finish the ride.
- HWR_14 4y agoThat is a solution that could work.
- tallanvor 4y agoI know that in Oslo they can fine the scooter companies for people parking them improperly, but you still have to have officials out looking for them and actually issuing the fines. The result here is that tourist areas have fewer problems, but they're left littering the sidewalks in residential areas.
- alistairSH 4y agoHeck, you could probably create parking zones (with signs/paint/etc) and most people would use them. Part of the problem now is users don't know where to put the scooters. You'd think common sense would dictate not across sidewalks, but humans prove time and again that common sense isn't very common.
