Differentiated traffic in Lyon will be reinforced as of Saturday with the exclusion of traffic from vehicles carrying the Crit'Air 3 sticker due to an episode of pollution with fine particles, announced Friday the prefecture of the Rhône. Since this Saturday, 5 h 00, the only vehicles authorized to circulate within the perimeter Lyon, Villeurbanne and Caluire-et-Cuire will be those displaying an air quality certificate (Crit'Air sticker) of class "zero engine emission" , class 1, or class 2, said the prefecture in a press release.
The episode of fine particle pollution in progress since Tuesday in the Lyon / Nord-Isère basin "has gained in intensity", we add. Since Thursday, Differentiated circulation had been implemented in these three municipalities. Until now, this allowed vehicles carrying the Crit'Air class 3 sticker to circulate. A temporary speed reduction of 20 km / h is maintained on all the main roads in the department where the authorized speed limit is normally greater than or equal to 90 km / h. You have to drive at 70 km / h on axes limited to 80 km / h.
And also in Isère and Annecy
The industrial production units emitting fine particles are not allowed to resume their activity before the end of the pollution episode, adds the prefecture. The ATMO Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes air quality observatory deplores weather conditions "favorable to the accumulation of pollutants emitted in the lower layers". 16 of the 21 air basins in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes are affected, with in particular 8 red vigilance air basins.
In Isère, the differentiated traffic authorizing only traffic to vehicles with a Crit'Air sticker "zero engine emissions", 1 and 2, will also be in force since this Saturday 5:00 am in the metropolis of Grenoble, as well as in ten municipalities of Lyonnais / Nord-Isère basin such as Bourgoin-Jallieu, Saint-Quentin-Fallavier and Vienne.
Furthermore, a combustion pollution alert was also underway in part of the departments of Drôme, Ain and in the Arve Valley (Haute-Savoie) where heavy goods vehicles over 3, 5 tonnes without a sticker or fitted with a Crit'Air 5 sticker are prohibited from driving. Differentiated traffic is also set up in Annecy.
