It has been several years since ZFE arrived in France, Paris and many other major cities. But now the government wants to go even further and plans to make them mandatory for all cities with a population of more than 150,000. As such, it will be necessary to have the correct Crit’Air sticker to be able to enter and circulate in the relevant areas. And be careful, because the conditions will become more and more severe over time, leaving many motorists unable to drive in certain cities unless they change cars.

WARNING! Since 2015 and the appearance of Crit’Air vignettes, traffic restrictions apply to certain vehicles in large cities. Shall we summarize together? 🚙 #MyMoreResponsibleProject
