The alternating circulation, a measure of the effectiveness is often disputed, however, seems always to struggle to impose itself: the accumulation of caps has reached a level judged to be “outstanding” on Thursday morning by the Direction des routes d’ile-de-France, which has identified a peak of 415 kilometers of traffic jams, compared to a little over 300 usually.
on Tuesday, the first day of alternating circulation, the traffic had been reduced by only 5% to 10% compared to a usual day and its impact had been low on pollution, according to Airparif, the body in charge of monitoring the air quality in the paris region.
