The City of Paris has established a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) in the very center of the capital. Vehicles will then not be able to cross the heart of Paris without stopping there. But what do we risk in the event of non-compliance?
Since the Monday November 4, 2024the city of Paris has set up a Limited Traffic Zone in the first four districts of the capital. This measure, aimed at reducing traffic in the hyper-center of Paris, now prohibits motorized vehicles from crossing the heart of Paris without stopping for authorized reasons. As part of the implementation of this measure, the town hall allows itself a period of prevention and awareness regarding CO2 emissions which could be avoided using this measure before motorists are sanctioned in case of non-compliance.

And precisely, what are the risks involved for infringing vehicles? Drivers of motor vehicles incur a fine of 135€ if they cross the center of the capital without stopping there. This measure does not apply to cyclists or scooters. THE transit traffic is prohibited 7 days a week and 24 hours a day.
