New day of blockages for taxis in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region mobilized en masse in Lyon and the agglomeration since Monday, December 2, 2024. After a first day of dams and snail operations on the highways around Lyon, at the entrances to hospital establishments and Place Bellecour, the system will be similar this Tuesday, December 3.

Blockages, in the same places as the day before, will be put in place in the urban area and around the metropolis from 6 a.m. this Tuesday morning as well as in front of Lyon hospitals.

They are protesting against the new CNAM (National Health Insurance Fund) agreement concerning medical transport, which they consider “unsustainable”.
