Since October 1, the capital’s famous circular boulevard has started to reduce its speed from 70 to 50 km/h in successive sections. As of October 10, the entire ring road increased to 50 km/h, making it prohibited to travel on two wheels in inter-files. Here are details on radars and the future of the CIF….

Speed cameras at 50 on the ring road, watch out!
Since October 10, the measure put in place by the mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo has come into force. The Paris ring road is now limited to 50 km/h over the entire 35 kilometers of this famous circular boulevard. The prefect of police, Laurent Nuñez assures him, the 12 radars present along the ring road are now set at 50 km/h even though he was not initially in favor of this lowering of the speed. In addition, cars with on-board radar would also be present. Notice to users, on 4 or 2 wheels, it will flash!
Towards a possible salvation for the inter-files
With this move to 50 km/h, the inter-queue which is authorized on the axes where the minimum speed must be equal to or greater than 70 km/h is no longer possible, even though the experimentation on the The interfiles had been extended until December 31. Nonsense…
However, 3 senators from the Ile-de-France region (Ian Brossat for Paris, Fabien Gay for Seine-Saint-Denis and Pierre Ouzoulias for Hauts-de-Seine) sent a letter to the Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau with the aim of authorizing inter-files, extract from the letter: ”The end of the inter-queue would have negative repercussions on the flow of traffic. In fact, it contributes to reducing traffic jams, improves road safety by avoiding sudden or dangerous movements of other vehicles, and thus helps relieve pressure on road infrastructure.”
This proposal is also supported by David Belliard who supports the use of inter-files by 2 wheels. The EELV deputy at Paris City Hall in charge of transport, however, had introduced paid parking for 2 wheels in 2022 and had mentioned on Franceinfo’s microphone “Our objective is to move towards a Paris without diesel, then a Paris without thermal engines”.
