Bicycle lanes have made life difficult for motorists

We know this since the crisis COVID-19, Paris City Hall has significantly accelerated the cycling plan. This has significantly increased the number of bike lanes that often overlap with normal traffic lanes. These measures mechanically led to an explosion in the number of cyclists.

On the other hand, as the number of cyclists increases, but at the same time new means of individual transport appear, such as electric scooter for example, problems have also multiplied. There have never been so many accidents and incivility, so the City Hall is taking on this reflection.

Finally, the mayor of Paris is also looking forward to the imminent start of the Olympic Games in the capital (scheduled for 2024) and wants to see the city more prosperous. The meeting is scheduled for next month.
