Electric scooters

Park the scooter you used primarily in the designated parking spaces. Parking spaces include painted parking areas and fixed electric scooter racks.

If the parking space is not marked separately, park your scooter in a way that is considerate to other people. Do not park your scooter in the middle of the streets or roads.

There are also prohibited areas in Turku where you cannot park scooters at all.
