THIS JUST IN:

Car ban begins in the center of #Paris.

Starting on Monday, Nov. 4, 2024: no through-traffic will be allowed in four central arrondissements on the Right Bank. (Home to the Louvre, Notre-Dame, and the Marais).

This is a big deal.

Paris - Limited Traffic Zone

Paris will implement a limited traffic zone in its city center no more through traffic allowed.

@straphanger Are cars that run 100 percent on electricity also banned in that large area? I mean those would not pollute in the area if driven inside it?
@harmone @straphanger yes, according to the linked page electric vehicles are also affected by the ban. After all, electric vehicles still cause congestion and other problems β€” emissions aren’t the only issue to be addressed.
