France adds more tourist areas to green zones
Holidaymakers driving in France are being advised that there are now driving bans in five tourist areas due to poor air quality.
It means only cars with special environmental badges can go into Paris, Strasbourg, Lyon, Annecy and Isere (Alpine region, Grenoble).
In these zones, cars without the Crit’Air environmental badge and with Crit’Air Class 5 – and in some cases Class 4 – are no longer allowed to drive.
In the case of Isere, the whole department with its highways (A7 and A41 to 47) is affected.
“Tourists as well as professional drivers should be careful, because high penalties are imposed in the event of non-compliance,” said Green Zones.
“If you do not have the required badge, it may be better to leave the car standing or drive around the environmental zones. However, anyone who has a badge marked 3, 2, 1 or E may continue to drive.”
