Over the past few months, motorists have been showered with benefits and subsidies. We are of course thinking about €100 worth of fuel and also to encourage drivers to practice car sharing. So those who actually play the game can win up to €200. But that’s not all. Imagine that you can also get paid without even using your car. What if we paid you to keep your car out of the garage? This is to some extent the principle of the new measure introduced the metropolis of Lillewhich may make you smile, but which is very serious.

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

A small allowance

This program is fresh as it was launched last Tuesday by the European metropolis of Lille. This one wants fight traffic jams as well as solo driving and wants to encourage car sharing, even the use of milder forms of mobility. In short, he wants fewer cars on his roads. For this purpose, it offers its residents to receive a assistance up to 80 euros per month. But, obviously, there is a condition, since you have to leave the car in the garage during peak hours. From September, an experiment will be launched on the A1 and A23 motorways for travel from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

How to use it?

If you want to try this system, you will have to register on changercarapporte.fr until May 12. The suitability of your vehicle will be checked by detecting your drives on the respective axles. Special cameras will then be installed on these roads and then deployed elsewhere if the experiment takes off. Other axes may indeed be concerned if it is definitive, e.g A25, RN41 and A22, among others.
