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.

won between 85.77% and 91.77% of the votes in the 20 Paris districts that published results, according to the City of Paris website on what was billed as a rare "public consultation" and prompted long queues at ballot boxes around the city.

Cities worldwide are tightening regulations on e-scooters, limiting the number of operators as well as speed and where they can park. "In my work, we see a lot of road accidents caused by scooters, so we really see the negative effects," general physician Audrey Cordier, 38, told Reuters after voting against the scooters.

It gave them a three-year contract, required that scooters' speed be capped at 20 km/hour and imposed designated scooter parking areas. The current contracts will run until September.

jpr007 No safety. No rules. People died on these...

I would allow them with strict rules. Otherwise I would vote for that ban in PRG as well.

jpr007 Public share scooters are the problem, not private scooters. Same goes for share bikes.

Can we get that in seattle too? It's not people riding them i have issues with, it's people abandoning them in the most annoying places.

🤡🤡🤡

Without safe spaces & routes for these scooters, it is the best option for now.

I don’t blame them. I’ve been to a city where they were being used and when I was driving about, the result was “whoa, yikes,” constantly. People on those things think they can do whatever they want, switch lanes, go from the sidewalk to the road suddenly…

Good. The batteries are made in China and everything that comes from them is garbage. The French Capital is Saving lives and the world should follow. Ban all garbage that comes from China

mugrogue Manhattan...are u paying attention?

it's false. 1 300 000 Parisians registered on the electoral list. 103 000 voted, that is to say a participation of 7,3%. 89.03% of voters said stop. It's not the same thing.

Excellent. London next please.

Free floating ones only in fact

Yes! These evil things were left by the minions of Satan to sow seeds of antagonism among denizens of urban life everywhere. you_dont_see_these_things_in_rural_areas
