Green politician Belit Onay wants to make vehicles less attractive through higher parking fees. “The trend towards more and more larger and heavier cars continues,” he told the “Tagesspiegel” “I therefore have great sympathy for a price scale for parking fees based on the length of the vehicles” The background is a citizen survey in Paris on Sunday.

There, residents can decide whether parking fees in public parking spaces for heavy SUVs should be tripled. Just one hour of parking in the center would cost 18 euros.
