Parisians Vote to Triple Parking Costs for SUVs

Parisians voted in favor of a proposal to increase parking fees for SUVs, with 54.55% in favor of the measure, targeting large, heavy, and polluting cars to address environmental and road safety concerns. The referendum follows a previous ban on e-scooters and comes as part of a broader effort to make Paris more pedestrian and cyclist-friendly. Despite the backing of environmental groups, the measure faced opposition from some residents who rely on SUVs for their transportation needs. The city administration's plan is set to be implemented in the near future, with exemptions for residents, traders, and care services.
