Paid parking to be expanded in Espoon keskus and Espoonlahti in May

In accordance with the decision made by the City Board in March, paid parking zones in Espoo will be expanded. The city will start updating traffic signs in May in the Espoon keskus and Espoonlahti areas. Drivers are advised to check traffic signs when parking, as the parking fees will take effect immediately once the signs have been replaced. Paid parking is indicated by traffic signs as shown in the image. Click on the links at the bottom of this page to find a map and a list of the streets affected.
