Following the introduction of the Zone à Trafic Limitée in the heart of the capital and the 50 km/h speed limit on the Paris ring road, new traffic restrictions designed to reduce pollution are now in force in the Paris region. From January 1, 2025, Crit'Air 3 vehicles will be banned in Paris and the inner suburbs. As a result, they will no longer be allowed to circulate on weekdays from 8am to 8pm (excluding weekends and public holidays) within the perimeter delimited by the A86 motorway.
