Is it true that, starting in April, any scooters will no longer be allowed to be parked on certain sidewalks in Greater Kaohsiung? In response to an angry mob of scooter owners, the Greater Kaohsiung Transportation Bureau says that the initiative will only be carried out initially for sidewalks less than 3m wide. According to statistics, around 4,600 parking spaces for scooters will be removed. As long as safety is not obstructed, parking spaces for scooters on sidewalks at least 3m wide will not be removed, meaning that about 300,000 of such parking spaces will not be affected.
Over the past two years, the bureau has gradually implemented its policy for removing scooters from sidewalks around the municipality’s five main commercial districts and its 20 schools and colleges. This year the bureau will continue giving impetus to the initiative in areas around Greater Kaohsiung’s 14 hospitals and major thoroughfares, working hard to improve scooter parking.
In order to keep scooters from being parked on sidewalks and help guide people to park at roadsides in an orderly fashion, the bureau amended Greater Kaohsiung’s major points for regulating orderly scooter parking in the municipality at the end of January. The bureau then announced that starting on April 1 it will gradually start implementing the new initiative around mass transit and commercial street areas.
