Paris votes to ban electric scooters from the streets of the French capital.
April 3, 2023, 12:31 AM UTCPARIS — An overwhelming majority of Parisians voted to ban electric scooters from the streets of the French capital on Sunday, in a non-binding referendum that city authorities have said they would follow.
“I preferred to vote against, because in Paris it’s a mess,” railway worker Ibrahim Beutchoutak, 47, told Reuters TV. “The way it’s organized, the danger that it creates in Paris, the visual pollution, it’s not good.” In 2021, 24 people died in scooter-related accidents in France, including one in Paris. Last year, Paris registered 459 accidents with e-scooters and similar vehicles, including three fatal ones.
Electric scooters accessed through smartphone apps have operated in Paris since 2018, but following complaints about their seemingly uncontrolled deployment, Paris in 2020 cut the number of operators to three.
