Paris Slashes Speed Limit On Ring Road To 50km/h

A 50km/h speed limit road sign is seen on the peripherique ring road on October , 2024 in Paris, France.

Although the Ville de Paris city hall is keen on the change, it has been contested by the Paris police prefecture, the regional government, headed by Valerie Pecresse, and the ministry of transport.

France's transport ministry, however, has previously insisted that only the government can officially change the speed limit by issuing a decree, as the city's power does not extend to the nationwide rules o
