A consultation launched in the last two months on security and traffic limit perimeters, which will be implemented during the Olympic Games (July 26 – August 11) and Paralympic Games (August 28 – September 8) this summer, has produced its first effects. “We have opened up a field of possibilities in terms of freedom to stick as closely as possible to the reality of life, personal and professional, and not to paralyze people’s activity while respecting safety rules”Paris Police Prefect, Laurent Nunez, explained in an interview with AFP published on Tuesday February 6.
In particular, it will now be possible to enter the red perimeter (prohibited for automobile traffic) with a vehicle to provide essential care, deliver food to vulnerable people, cannot be postponed, ensure delivery to businesses or social fraud. Taxis and VTCs will also be able to pick up or drop off local residents.
For all these exemptions, you will need to register on the online platform and provide the necessary supporting documents to get the mandatory pass. “Emergency cases are exempted from requesting certificate”Laurent Nunez mentioned.
“We made a few moves”He greeted the prefect while searching “A balance between maintaining a fairly normal life for people and security requirements”. “It’s not entirely valid. It’s been done by us but I’m waiting for the return of the elected officials in the city but roughly speaking, we have no comment.He clarified.
Four security perimeters have been established around the competition venues. A gray perimeter (competition venues) reserved for ticketed spectators and accredited spectators and a silt perimeter (anti-terror security) established as close as possible to the competition venues where people are searched and screened. Another perimeter, red, will restrict automobile traffic (with exceptions). The blue perimeter will prevent motorized vehicles from passing through but will remain accessible for those going to work, returning home or on business. The blue and red perimeters are vehicular traffic perimeters. On foot, there is no restriction.
Mr. Nunez also declared “Work on situations where we can continue to implement real estate works that may affect traffic and the right-of-way. We try to be as flexible as possible, to limit restrictions as much as possible..
However, the prefect doesn’t listen “Allow in trucks that will deliver materials in the red zone when there is pedestrian flow”. “We will make delivery possible even if there is no right of way on public roads. It has to go very fast to free up the flow of pedestrians and building work can go on almost everywhere”he added.
On the other hand, road work will not be possible in the blue and red zones, Mr. Nunez noted “Because it will create traffic jams”. “And on reserved lanes and relief lanes and everything else, this won’t be possible either”.
The results of the consultation and the final traffic perimeter will be announced at the end of February.
