Strasbourg at a glance
293,771 inhabitants · Bas-Rhin (67) · Grand Est
A European capital and the prefecture of Bas-Rhin, Strasbourg packs nearly 300,000 residents into a dense urban fabric: the UNESCO-listed Grande Île is largely pedestrianised or has restricted traffic, and the Neustadt, Krutenau, Orangerie and station neighbourhoods have few free spaces during the day. Moving or taking a delivery on rue des Juifs, quai des Bateliers or avenue des Vosges without a reserved space almost always means double parking.
Parking is paid and regulated across much of the city (red, orange and green zones), with residential areas and streets where the tramway adds further constraints. Applying to the City for a parking order (arrêté) lets you legally suspend the spaces needed for your lorry, skip or guests, and our signs, put up 48 hours in advance, make the restriction enforceable.

Why time-stamped photos matter
In most French towns, a vehicle parked in your space can only be towed if the signs were in place before it arrived, within the timeframe set by the municipality. Our geolocated, time-stamped photos prove exactly when the signs were placed. The City of Rouen, for example, expressly recommends them.
