Starting with March, the municipality will be implementing a restricted parking regime on all the main streets of the capital city. An order to this effect was signed by deputy mayor Victor Chironda, IPN reports.

Under the order, it is banned parking on sidewalks and the roadway of Ștefan cel Mare Blvd, Grigore Vieru St, Constantin Tănase St, Bănulescu-Bodoni St, Alexei Mateevici St, Alexandr Pushkin St and Kiev St. The parking traffic signs on these streets are to be taken away.

Under another decision, also starting with this month, parking signs parallel to the axis of the road will be set up near all the parking places situated close to and on the roadside. The building of parking lots will be allowed on sidewalks wider than 4.5 meters only on secondary and local streets, in parallel with the axis of the road, on condition that the sidewalk is reconfigured and reconstructed.

The parking places for persons with disabilities should represent at least 4% of the total number of places existing along the direction of the street, but not less than one place on each road section.
