Some cars will have to stay in the garage on Saturday in Ile-de-France.

The prefect of police of Paris Didier Lallemant announced Friday the establishment for the first day of the weekend of a differentiated circulation.

The measure comes as in its bulletin, Airparif predicts a PM10 particle concentration of between 45 and 55 µg/m³, “i.e. a probable overrun of the information-recommendation threshold set at 50 µg/m³, for the third consecutive day” , indicates the PP.

Result: only vehicles with a Crit'Air sticker 0, 1 and 2 will be allowed to travel on Saturday from 5:30 a.m. to midnight in Paris, the small and medium suburbs (within the perimeter delimited by the A86) and this until the end of the pollution episode.

“The other vehicles will not be able to circulate,” added the police headquarters (PP) in a press release.

Reduction of the maximum authorized speed

In addition to this differentiated traffic, reductions in the maximum authorized speed have been introduced: 110 km/h on motorways normally limited to 130 km/h;

90 km/h on portions of motorways or expressways normally limited to 110 km/h and 70 km/h on portions of motorways and expressways normally limited to 90 km/h as well as on national and departmental roads normally limited to 80 km/h or 90 km/h.

It is also forbidden to use an individual wood-fired heater for additional or decorative purposes.

Measures are also planned for the agricultural sector (ban on the burning of agricultural by-products, postponement of the cleaning of silos, postponement of the spreading of mineral and organic fertilizers, etc.).

“This episode of pollution is a persistent episode which could last for several more days.

This pollution comes from several sources (in particular wood heating, road traffic and agriculture) and is combined with anticyclonic conditions unfavorable to the dispersion of pollutants”, according to the PP.
