  3. Parking your bike: the dos and don’ts

Want to park your bike on the sidewalk?

The dos and don’ts in Maastricht 

By bike you get to all parts of the city quickly, environmentally friendly, cheap and healthy. To keep it as #posifiets as possible, there are a few rules. For example, about parking your bicycle on the pavement. This is how you keep it fun for other cyclists, pedestrians and everyone with whom you share the sidewalk and the city.

Always park your bicycle at least one metre away from the kerb*
PMB181 WEB 800X550 05_zomercampagne #posifiets 2022

Rules on cycling
* As a number of narrow pavements are often too crowded for pedestrians, buggies, mobility scooters, wheelchair users, and less mobile persons because of lamp posts, waste bins, street furniture, and bicycles incorrectly parked against facades, we are thrilled when we see a metre of free space. This is because it’s safer and prevents mutual annoyances. Additionally, any party which applies for a permit for an activity must account for the precondition of 1.5 metres of space to ensure free movement on.
