Résumé:
Finding parking for scooters and motorcycles in Monaco is becoming increasingly challenging due to high demand, limited spaces, and competition from other vehicles.
Histoire complète :
Finding parking spaces for two-wheeled vehicles in Monaco has become increasingly challenging due to the demand surpassing the supply. With more scooters and motorcycles on the roads, especially in heavily frequented areas like Fontvieille and Boulevard d’Italie, riders struggle to find available parking spots during peak hours. This saturation often leads to parking in unauthorized areas, resulting in fines. One recurring issue raised by readers is that parking spaces designated for two-wheelers are often occupied by compact cars, such as Twizzys, which can fit three scooters’ worth of space. Additionally, parking spaces for two-wheelers are sometimes eliminated to make way for road works or events, without providing alternative solutions. Some readers suggest that parking spaces for bicycles should be created without removing existing spaces for scooters. While Monaco is encouraging the use of electric vehicles for transportation, repurposing parking spaces for these solutions raises concerns for motorcyclists. The installation of new parking barriers also hinders two-wheelers, as riders now have to take a ticket and potentially pay for parking if they stay longer than the two-hour free limit. Some readers propose the reinstatement of the “Multipark” subscription, which allowed parking in any Monaco garage for free. Overall, finding practical parking solutions for two-wheelers in Monaco remains an ongoing challenge.
