Paris made yet another Effort towards Sustainability

In a bid to clean up the city and reduce the chokehold of traffic congestion, Paris plans to ban cars from much of the historic part of the French capital, including 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Arrondissements.

The expected 2024 implementation represents a two-year delay from the original goal.

?Vehicles banned under the new rules will include most private vehicles used for traffic. Exceptions will be made for public vehicles, residents who live in the included areas, delivery drivers, and those accessing services such as shopping. The move is expected to take around 50% of cars or 100,000 cars off the road daily.

The goal is to turn much of the historic parts of Paris into a cleaner, less congested environment that is friendlier to local forms of transportation such as cycling, scooters, and good old-fashioned walking.

If Paris gets its way, residents of the city and tourists alike could be on the path to a cleaner, greener, and more locally accessible City of Light.
