In an attempt to reduce pollution, Paris is considering banning certain vehicles. Though details are still pretty slim, it seems likely that the restrictions will be placed on SUVs and old diesel vehicles. So what should Parisians who own one of these vehicles do?
“Sell it and buy a vehicle that’s compatible with city life,” environmental official Denis Baupin told RTL radio. “I’m sorry, but having a sport utility vehicle in a city makes no sense.”
The restrictions are expected to be put into place either this year or next, and will effect cities including Paris, Lyon, Grenoble and Aix-en-Provence. City officials are still in the process of determining which cars will actually be restricted and what types of penalties will be used.
