Rue de Rivoli: car is over!

Officially, Rue de Rivoli is now reserved for pedestrians, cyclists and buses at least during Covid-19 epidemic. Only taxis, emergency vehicles, and craftsmen are tolerated.

A transformation due to the bicycle plan initiated by Anne Hidalgo. Since May 11, 50 km of lanes are gradually reserved for bicycles, “they are added to the 1040 km of cycle paths that already exist in the capital” tweeted the mayor of Paris in early May.

The mayor wants to unclog public transport and limit traffic in the capital.
