Paris Sets 20 MPH Speed Limit and Eliminates 40 Percent of Parking to Fight Global Warming

PJ Media– Paris, the “City of Lights,” has decided to go to war against global warming by reducing the speed limit on city streets to 30 KPH (19 MPH).

To further enrage drivers, the city has eliminated 60,000 of its 144,000 parking spaces to make them “more accessible to everyone.” They will also widen some sidewalks, create new bike lanes, and plant new trees and shrubs.

Polls show that 59 percent of Parisians support the reduced speed limit, although in the wider metro area opposition tops out at 61 percent.

There appears to be a debate about whether reducing the speed limit and eliminating parking places will actually make the air cleaner and save the planet from climate change. The science says no, but socialists only follow the science when it’s on their side of an argument. read more

  2. No parking. People will have to keep circling while the passengers hop out to do whatever they came to Paris to do. Circling cars pollute, parked cars don’t, so this makes perfect sense.

  3. Globull Warming is so out of fashion, The French will have a harder time with mythological climate change. What. did the cavemen call it when the season changed from Fall to Winter?
