The French city of Lyon has introduced new restrictions on car traffic in its historic centre as part of a broader plan to reduce air pollution and prioritize sustainable urban living.
In an effort to tackle rising air pollution, Lyon has rolled out new measures aimed at discouraging car use in the Presqu'île, its historic city centre.
The initiative is part of the city’s wider environmental policy, which focuses on making public spaces more pedestrian-friendly and expanding public transport and cycling infrastructure. City officials say the goal is to improve air quality and create a healthier, more livable urban environment.
New traffic rules limit car access and reduce parking availability in the central district, pushing more residents and visitors to rely on public transportation, bicycles, or walking.
While some locals have welcomed the move for its environmental benefits, others have expressed frustration over reduced vehicle access and parking constraints.
Officials argue the changes are necessary as Lyon, France’s third-largest city, continues to grapple with environmental challenges linked to vehicle emissions. The city is also expanding low-emission zones as part of its long-term plan to become a more sustainable urban hub.
