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. On Monday evening, the city of Paris published a decree officially dropping the speed limit on the ring road, the peripherique, from 70km/h to 50 km/h, with effect from October 1st. The city of Paris has cited environmental and safety reasons for the change, stating that the measure "is likely to limit the pollution and noise nuisance caused by traffic". 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. However, in their decree, the city reiterated that they have authority to change the speed limit, thanks to a decentralisation law that was passed in 2017. 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
