Paris enforces city-wide 30kph speed limit — — -Brussels (Brussels Morning) Starting on Monday, the city of Paris introduced a city-wide speed limit of only 30 kilometres per hour, with the goal of cutting noise, pollution, and dangerous traffic accidents.

The move, pushed through by the city’s Socialist Party (PS) Mayor Anne Hidalgo, was met with the approval of the majority of the city’s residents, though it was heavily criticised by some of her political opponents and a number of businesses in the city.
