City Hall Plan To Lower Ring Road Speed - Paris

A speed limit sign is seen on Paris’ "Peripherique" ring road on December 7, 2023 in Paris, France. The French government and Paris city officials were at loggerheads on Thursday, December 7, over a flagship plan to cut the speed limit on the capital's congested ring road after the 2024 Olympic Games. The mayor's office said last month that the restrictions aimed at reducing pollution and noise from the "Boulevard Peripherique", one of Europe's busiest roads, would come into force a few weeks after the Games end. The speed limit would be lowered to 50 kilometers per hour on the ring road, from 70 km/h currently. But on Thursday, Transport Minister Clément Beaune rejected the initiative, saying it was "not a good idea in the short term." Although the ring road "is managed by the city of Paris," a change in the speed limit "obviously requires approval from the state," said Beaune. Photo by Tomas Stevens/ABACAPRESS.COM
