Sydney Greens call for SUV parking fees to be tripled, like in Paris

A Greens councillor in Sydney is proposing to triple parking fees for SUVs, citing them as big polluters and killers. The motion will be introduced at a council meeting to disincentivize the use of dangerous and polluting SUVs on the road. The councillor claims that SUVs are more likely to cause harm to pedestrians and cyclists, and contribute significantly to CO2 emissions. However, the proposal does not specify which types of SUVs would be impacted. The councillor calls for higher rates for larger and heavier vehicles, potentially tripling parking costs for the most polluting and dangerous SUVs.
