America at the dawn of a historic choice. Kamala Harris and Donald Trump face off on Monday in final electoral rallies, on the eve of a vote with critical issues for the United States and the rest of the world. This 2024 American presidential election sees two radically opposed personalities, separated by almost two decades. On the one hand, the current Democratic vice-president, Kamala Harris, 60, can become on Tuesday the first woman to lead the leading economic and military power on the planet.
On the other, former Republican President Donald Trump, 78, author of a spectacular political comeback after leaving the White House in 2021 in a chaotic context, having escaped two impeachment procedures and having been convicted in court .
Peppered with unimaginable twists and turns, first and foremost two assassination attempts on the septuagenarian, this campaign which is ending has also been marked by all the escalations in a fractured country. Each of the two rivals says they are confident in their victory. But, in reality, the competition is so close that only a few tens of thousands of votes could decide the outcome of the election.
The limited traffic zone (ZTL), desired by Paris City Hall to reduce pollution, comes into force this Monday in the first four arrondissements of the capital. This area of approximately 5.5 km² will now be closed to vehicles that only cross it. Only emergency vehicles, buses, taxis, people with reduced mobility, motorists residing or working there… and more generally all “destination” traffic, i.e. those whose point of departure and arrival is located in the area (for a medical appointment, going shopping, to the cinema, etc.). What documents will you need to provide? Which routes are affected? Le Parisien helps you take stock to understand everything.
