Parking for women
Pink Parking Spaces
Swiss parking enforcers in the city of Bern are hoping to deter male drivers parking in extra-large spaces meant for women - by painting them pink and adding traditionally feminine symbols, such as flowers.
It comes after complaints male drivers steal reserved parking spaces for women, which are usually close to the car park's exit and under video surveillance.
Bjorn Rohrbach, managing director of a parking lot in Bern, says, "Legally, we can't stop men from using women's parking spaces. And telling them off didn't work either."
