Motorcyclists Take Note! New Regulations Start 10/6, 'Parking Violations' Could Cost Up to NT$1200

Taipei City's new parking regulations for large motorcycles are about to take effect! The Taipei City Parking Management Office announced that starting October 6th, they will fully pilot the 'Shared Parking Spaces for Motorcycles and Large Motorcycles' initiative. This opens up approximately 63,000 public roadside metered motorcycle parking spaces city-wide for red and yellow plate large motorcycles. They can also park diagonally across two spaces, with fees charged according to the regulations of each section. This opening is limited to public roadside metered motorcycle parking spaces; parking in unmetered alleyways or other non-compliant locations remains prohibited, and violations could result in fines from NT$600 to NT$1200. The Taipei City Department of Transportation stated that starting from October 6, 115 (2026), they will fully pilot the opening of approximately 63,000 public roadside metered motorcycle parking spaces within their jurisdiction for large motorcycle parking, continuing the 'Shared Parking Spaces for Motorcycles and Large Motorcycles Pilot Plan 2.0'. Initially promoted gradually in specific sections and public off-street parking lots, this expansion to all public roadside metered motorcycle parking spaces city-wide follows a comprehensive review of parking situations and public feedback during the pilot period. For any roadside motorcycle parking space that is officially posted as metered and is within the hours when regular motorcycles can park (excluding prohibited parking times), large motorcycles can park according to regulations. They may also park diagonally across two motorcycle spaces to accommodate both their size and other motorcycles. If actual parking needs arise due to vehicle size, added cargo boxes, etc., they may also choose to park in existing car parking spaces, with fees charged according to car parking rates.
