That's just not providing free parking. Banning it would be disallowing malls, stores, gas stations (heh) etc from providing parking without charging for it.

This is currently a hot potato in Norway. The local government wants to force malls to charge for their parking at rates to be decided by the government, but aren't allowed due to national regulation.

So there is a political battle to determine whether the law will be changed to allow it. The malls aren't at all happy about it, of course.

Can't the government just levy a tax per parking spot?
