  "textContent": "Move is designed to restore order to public spaces.\nRome has begun installing dedicated parking bays for rental electric scooters and bicycles as part of efforts to reform the Italian capital's micro-mobility network.\n\nThe new parking spaces, or stalli, are designated spots where users of rental e-scooters and bikes must leave vehicles at the end of a journey.\n\nIn a parallel move, the city is to establish no-parking and no-transit zones where the use of such devices is prohibited entirely.\n\nThe rollout forms the third and most visible phase of a reform programme overseen by Rome's mobility councillor, Eugenio Patané.\n\nIn a statement published on Facebook on Tuesday, Patané described the initiative as a shift towards order and respect for public space.\n\n\"We are positioning new dedicated bays throughout the city - where scooters and bicycles can be left in an orderly fashion - and no-parking and no-transit areas,\" Patané wrote.\n\nThe councillor framed the development as the latest phase in the management of scooter and bicycle sharing in Rome.\n\nThe city has recently focused on regulation, including reducing the number of licensed operators from seven to three.\n\nPatané said the city is now focusing on \"decorum and rules in public spaces\".\n\n\"We're positioning new dedicated parking spaces throughout the city where scooters and bicycles can be left in an orderly fashion\" - Patané stated - \"as well as no-parking and no-transit areas, where neither parking nor transit with these vehicles is permitted.\"\n\nHe said the move would consolidate a model built on \"fewer private cars, greater shared mobility, and more considered use of urban space\", adding: \"Rome is becoming ever more European and sustainable\".\n\nPhoto Eugenio Patané - Facebook",
