In about a year and a half, the Paris Olympic Games will take place, which will bring changes to the daily life of the residents of Ile-de-France. Some of them will even become permanent, such as the ring road, one of whose lanes will be reserved for Olympics personnel for this period. Then this same lane will always be reserved, but this time for soft mobility and road professionals.
But not only the device will be entitled to its share of modifications. Indeed, many motorways will also be changed, even if after the Olympics these axes will be back to what they were before.
During the Games, only 1️⃣ lane will be reserved for accredited vehicles, as well as for emergency services, taxis and buses.

Motorway A1: reserved lane for the 2024 Olympics
And among the relevant highways, of course, there is the A1, one of the main highways of the Ile-de-France region, which connects the capital with the north of France, as well as several cities of the Seine-Saint-Denis region. In general, during the Olympic period, Ile-de-France will have 185 kilometers of reserved lanes which will begin on July 26, 2024 with the opening of the Olympic Games and end on September 8 with the closing of the Paralympic Games.
If the lane is reserved on the ring road in both directions between Port-de-Vanves and Port-de-Bercy, the A1 motorway will also be one of the main axes. In effect, lane will be reserved between Port de la Chapelle and Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport in both directionsfrom 6 am to midnight.
Who is the lane reserved for?
Around the A1, several axes will also be affected, such as the access roads to the Stade de France via the A86 or the access to the athletes’ village via the various roads of the department.
These tracks will be available to athletes and all members of Olympic delegations. Olympic medical workers and accredited journalists will also be able to use it.
These road sections will also be reserved for taxis, public transport and “vehicles intended for the transportation of people with reduced mobility”according to the order of the government.
