The Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation proposed to transfer to regional and municipal authorities the authority to regulate paid parking spaces for electric scooters and other personal mobility (IM) devices.
It is expected that paid parking for a SIM will be marked with a blue marker.

The ministry calls the purpose of the amendments to combat chaotic SIM parking, which the Russians complain about.
