The ring road now usually has four lanes per direction of traffic. BERTRAND GUAY / AFP A major project. Anne Hidalgo promised, Wednesday, May 18, during a press conference, to revegetate 10 hectares of the ring road in Paris and to plant 70,000 trees there by reducing the number of traffic lanes. The PS mayor of the capital wants to make the ring road an urban boulevard like the others, as suggested by a note written for the progressive think tank Terra Nova in 2019. The circular ring of 35 kilometers, which will celebrate its half-century in 2023 , is a “grey belt that we would like to see transformed into a green belt” by 2030, declared the former presidential candidate of the PS, who wants to offer the 500,000 inhabitants living on either side of this fast axis a “more harmonious, more pleasant living environment”.

The “Olympic lane”, reserved for participants in the 2024 Olympic Games (athletes, officials, rescue workers), will then be allocated to buses, taxis and carpooling, said Mr. Belliard, for whom these measures will make it possible to withdraw 80,000 traffic vehicles.

The horizon of 2030, that is after the end of his second term (2026), must allow “people to be able to adapt” to this change, she further said.
