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. As of January 1, 2025, Crit'Air 3 vehicles will be banned in Paris and the inner suburbs. In principle, these vehicles are no longer allowed on weekdays from 8am to 8pm (excluding weekends and public holidays) within the perimeter of the A86 motorway.
