Because of smog, air pollution, and overall functions-functions.

From environmental considerations are cars with a license plate ending with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 today, are not welcome in the French capital, and tomorrow are registration numbers on 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 end at the turn. It may be a draconian measure, but the local government would not bet if it is not strictly necessary. As an alternative, the public transport is free.

With the exception of the rule are cars with 3+ people, (very) fuel efficient cars, foreigners and of course the emergency services. Those who do not adhere to the ban means risk a fine of 22 euros, or a round of tea for 2 on the Champs-Élysées. It would not surprise me if many of these miniboete take for granted, as they are one of the 1,000 employed enforcers are caught.

Diesel

Paris struggling for years with a vervuilingsprobleem. Roughly a fifth of the entire French population lives in the capital, where recently, swift plans were made to all diesel vehicles was banned. Yep, not only Rotterdam or Utrecht is the rider of satanssap prefer to lose than rich.

Also about an SUV-prohibition once geprakkiseerd, but we all know that SUV’s nowadays *cough* superzuinig.

Is the above prohibition, you known for? Can beat, last year march was the ball in Paris. This is of course a stopgap measure, but the politics obviously works hard at a structural solution. We think. But first, must get the second round of the departmental elections (next week Sunday), behind the back, until that time, policy makers are somewhat low profile.
