As a Berlin citizen, we welcome this decision of the Senate, which represents recognition and appreciation for all people who work at unusual times to keep the city going. The possibility of parking in parking zones cheaply or free of charge is a relief for many working people who work at night or on weekends. It shows that their difficult working hours are recognized and they are supported in order to be able to practice their jobs better. This is an important step for improving working conditions for many Berliners.
