I don't live in an area with scooters. I never got why the parking/littering was a problem. They know who rode the scooter last = who parked there right? Couldn't they fine the people leaving them in the middle of the sidewalk/dumping them in rivers/whatever?
City could allocate dedicated areas for parking scooters with white line around it on the floor.
Usually you can park 30 scooters in the area, used by a single car.
Basically, Krakow implemented this.
Parking areas are enforced in the Application (fine would be collected for parking in a random place though the app).
You still can park your own scooter in the regular bike parking areas though (I think?).
Scooter parkings are pretty much near each bus stop in the city center.
> because of the risk they pose to pedestrians
I took it to mean cluttering the sidewalks, not crashes.
Is it about crashes?
