Art. 79 OSR · Markings Governing Parking Spaces

Parking spaces are indicated exclusively by a marking or marked in addition to signage.

Parking spaces are delineated by continuous lines. Instead of continuous lines, partial marking may be used. The markings are white; for spaces located in the "blue zone," they are blue. White or blue parking spaces may also be indicated by a particular surface that stands out clearly from the roadway.

The beginning and end of a "blue zone" may be indicated by a double transverse line in blue and white; the blue line will be on the inside of the zone.

It is possible to reserve parking spaces for the following categories of vehicles and user groups by marking them with a symbol: a. the "Cycle" symbol (5.31) for bicycles and mopeds; b. the "Motorcycle" symbol (5.29) for motorcycles; c. the "Disabled" symbol (5.14) for persons holding a "parking card for people with disabilities"; d. the "Charging Station" symbol (5.42) for electric vehicles being charged; e. the "Carpooling" symbol (5.43) for vehicles transporting, upon arrival, a number of persons at least equal to that indicated on the symbol; f. the "Cargo Bike" symbol (5.31.1) for bicycles and mopeds intended for the transport of children, passengers, or goods, as well as bicycles and mopeds with trailers.

Parking spaces reserved for specific user groups are marked in yellow. Those for bicycles and mopeds may also be marked in yellow.

Where parking spaces are marked, vehicles must park only within the limits of these spaces. Parking spaces should only be used by vehicles of the categories for which they have been dimensioned. Parking spaces reserved for a vehicle category or a user group may only be used by said category or group.
