'Périphérique' problems: France begins low speed limit rollout on Paris ring road • FRANCE 24

Paris authorities on Tuesday began to gradually reduce the speed limit on the French capital's congested ring road in a move they say will improve safety and quality of life. According to the capital's Socialist mayor, Anne Hidalgo, the speed limit along the entire 35-kilometre Boulevard Peripherique – known as the "Periph" – will fall to 50 km/h from 70 km/h now. The move has triggered criticism from drivers and other opponents, with the right denouncing the measure as "socially unfair", as FRANCE 24’s Solange Mougin explains. #Paris #Périphérique #France 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X (Twitter): https://f24.my/Xen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
