Does the Greater Paris Low Emission Zone mean anything to you?
But yes, it is about this project intended to prohibit polluting vehicles from circulating in a given perimeter.
In this case, the area delimited by the A86 motorway, corresponding more or less to the territory of the Metropolis of Greater Paris (MGP) which covers the Little Crown of Paris.
The inhabitants of the Greater Paris Metropolis are now invited to vote on this project until March 31, 2021. All you need to do is participate in the public citizen consultation proposed by the Greater Paris Metropolis and accessible online on its website. site *.
A consultation which in fact relates to the second phase of the ZFE, the first phase already applying since July 2019. In theory at least.
Indeed, the device, the principle of which was adopted in November 2018 by the metropolitan councilors, at the instigation of the president of the MGP Patrick Ollier, banned since July 2020 in the perimeter located inside the A86, the cars with Crit'Air 5 stickers, ie old Diesel dating from before 2001 and all vehicles from before 1997. As of June 1, 2021, this ban on traffic from Monday to Friday from 8 am to 8 pm , must be extended to Crit'Air 4 vehicles, that is to say to Diesel cars from before 2006, thus aligning itself with the capital which has already set up its ZFE.
The fact remains that these measures to ban the most polluting bicycles, intended to significantly lower the rates of fine particle pollution in Greater Paris, are currently of a purely theoretical nature.
They are still not accompanied by coherent measures towards those who do not respect them.
No fine therefore for offenders as long as a video-tagging system is not deployed on the perimeter of the 79 municipalities concerned.
Which, according to the transport ministry, should not take place before 2022.
This new period should be used to make the owners of the vehicles concerned aware of the need to change car or mode of transport, but also to inform them of possible assistance in this area.
