Overview
- PS candidate Emmanuel Grégoire proposes 10 express bus corridors with traffic-signal priority, a 24/7 metro, and 1,000 additional pedestrian streets.
- He also backs expanded green, pedestrian quays along the Seine to create a continuous west‑east walking and cycling link.
- LR’s Rachida Dati pledges to “sanctuarize” pedestrians, keeps cars off the Voies sur berges, proposes a large park on the quays, and would test limited local car access on Rue de Rivoli.
- Dati also floats partial adjustments to the 30 km/h limit in central Paris, sound‑reducing asphalt and eventual covering for the périphérique, and a new resident rate for motorists.
- Road danger sets the context with 433 people killed or seriously injured in 2024, as other contenders pitch plans ranging from wider pedestrian zones and a road‑incivilities police to fatbike registration, free transit for under‑18s, and restrictions on large SUVs.
