Paris Implements Limited Traffic Zone in City Center

The new measure restricts transit vehicles in central Paris to reduce pollution and congestion.

• The Zone à Trafic Limité (ZTL) covers 5.5 square kilometers in the first four arrondissements of Paris, effective November 4, 2024.
• Only residents, workers, emergency vehicles, taxis, and those with destinations within the zone are permitted to drive there.
• The initiative aims to decrease traffic by 10-15% and improve air quality and noise pollution in the city center.
• Businesses express concern over potential loss of customers, while city officials argue that reduced traffic will enhance the shopping experience.
• The ZTL is inspired by similar successful implementations in cities like Rome, Milan, and Barcelona.
