today more and more ZEPs are appearing on the territory. And, of course, it shouldn’t be better. And for good reason, the government even wants to deploy more and more everywhere in France. Its purpose: to ensure that everyone cities with a population of more than 150,000 from 2025 will become low-emission zones. Suffice to say, that deadline is fast approaching, unfortunately for motorists. Because many of them cannot afford to change the car, let alone take an electric model. But some municipalities are trying to find a solution.
WARNING! Since 2015 and the appearance of Crit’Air vignettes, traffic restrictions apply to certain vehicles in large cities. Shall we summarize together? #MyMoreResponsibleProject

Events for professionals
This is especially true for the metropolis of Lyon, which wants to make it easier for professionals to get around in its ZFE. The president of the community, Bruno Bernard, has indeed announced that he is committed to ” make a few adjustments to the final location of the ZFE“. This will especially apply to business, so that the city remains dynamic in economic terms. A number of measures will be taken for this. Starting with improved parking conditions for professionals. There will also be an allowance for small riders.
Voting in June
The city also wants to help with vehicle access from a Crit’Air 2, is easier to find than Crit’Air 0 and 1. The goal is to provide a smooth transition to not rush motorists. All of these measures will be subject to a council vote next June. We will remind, the ban of Crit’Air 2 has already been postponed until January 1, 2028. It was previously scheduled for January 1, 2026.
