City at a crossroads: Transport revolution underway on streets of Paris • FRANCE 24 English

#Paris is famous around the world for its beautiful sights and towering monuments, but it's also somewhat infamous for its driving #culture. Parisian drivers are the first to admit that manoeuvring the streets can be quite a harrowing experience. Over the years, Paris authorities have taken steps to limit traffic in the French capital and encourage alternative modes of transport like #cycling. The idea is to make the capital safer all while cutting air pollution, but this has sparked growing rage among drivers. We take a closer look in this edition of French Connections.

It's about time, my niece got a moped to get around in Paris traffic and payed with her life a couple of months later

Bicycles can't be punnished. They have no license plates. They can do whatever they want.

[@grassytramtracks]

Equally, it it really as worthwhile to pursue a bike as a car? A car is a huge heavy box whereas a bike is small and light. Harshly policing cycling offences is a waste of police time and money either way and the evidence just doesn't suggest that cyclists are rogues constantly breaking the law, they actually break the law less often than motorists

You are far less likely to kill other people with a bike, so I guess it really does not matter.
Bike chaos is still better than cars.

Okay...if u put it that way, then again, it's a wonderful opportunity for you to start cycling and avoid all the harsh regulations on cars 🤗🤗 as long as you start cycling everyone's happy, it's a win-win situation!

Drivers whining will always be funny. They want to go fast inside narrow city streets. No self awareness just entitlement.

I wouldn’t live in “any city” even if l were paid to do so!!

I can't see Parisian women on bikes.
