Paris Bans E-Scooters from City Streets.

Parisians voted overwhelmingly to ban electric scooters from the streets of the French capital in a non-binding referendum. The ban won between 85.77% and 91.77% of the votes in the 20 Paris districts that published results. The move comes after complaints about the anarchic deployment of e-scooters and safety concerns. Last year, Paris registered 459 accidents with e-scooters and similar vehicles, including three fatal ones. Operators had offered further regulations, but some voters said they would have rather had tighter regulations than an outright ban.
