Here's how to park correctly

Help us keep the streets of Wuppertal safe and accessible for all.

How to park in the designated parking bays ?

In many neighbourhoods, zones with designated parking spaces were set up, so that parking is only permitted in digital parking bays for e-scooters and e-bikes.


Such zones have a blue outline and parking bays are marked with a blue parking symbol

in the Lime app.

How to park on the sidewalk?

In places where there are not yet zones with designated parking spaces, you can park on the sidewalk as long as you follow the parking rules:

  • Park parallel, at the edge of the sidewalk or parallel to the walls of the houses and other borders

  • Leave at least 2 m of sidewalk width clear.

When parking on the sidewalk, also keep in mind the following:

  • ❌ Do not park in the waiting areas of suspension railway stations and bus stops.

  • ❌ Don’t park near intersections and crossings.

  • ❌ Don’t block ground guidance systems for visually impaired persons and don’t park too close to them.

  • ❌ Don’t block bike lanes.

  • ❌ Don’t block emergency access roads and access driveway crossings.

  • ❌ Parke nicht auf Mittelinseln für Fußgänger*innen.

  • ❌ Don’t park on the Middle islands.

  • ❌ Don’t block access to mailboxes, parking metres, charging stations, seating and toilet facilities.

  • ❌ Don’t park on the roadside greenery.

  • ❌ Don’t park on the sidewalks that are too narrow – choose another parking spot instead.

Pay attention to the no parking zones

The red coloured zones in your Lime app are no parking zones. You will not be able to complete your ride here. It's best to check the app just before you rent to see if your destination is in a no-parking zone and plan your ride accordingly. Don’t leave the vehicle in the no parking zones, marked red in the app to avoid receiving a fine.

Make sure you ace the end-trip photo 📸

You have to take a photo of the parked vehicle to end the ride. We review all photos to check that you parked your e-scooter or e-bike in line with the rules.

FAQ

  • We will check the photo you took to make sure you parked the scooter or e-bike properly. If you have not parked properly or left the vehicle in the no parking zone, you will receive a one-off warning. If your parking behaviour does not improve after this, we will have to charge you a penalty fee.

    If you are fined repeatedly, we reserve the right to suspend your account.
