Paris Implements Traffic Restrictions in City Center

Starting November 4, only residents and those with specific destinations can drive through central Paris as part of a new traffic regulation.

Paris has established a 'Zone à trafic limité' (ZTL) in the 1st to 4th arrondissements, covering 5.5 square kilometers.
The initiative aims to reduce pollution, noise, and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
Residents, delivery vehicles, taxis, and those with proven destinations like restaurants or theaters are exempt from the restrictions.
Violators of the new traffic rules will face fines of 135 euros after an initial six-month adaptation period.
This measure is part of Mayor Anne Hidalgo's broader strategy to transform Paris into a more pedestrian-friendly city.
