Paris authorities on Tuesday began to gradually reduce the speed limit on the French capital’s congested ring road in a move they say will improve safety and quality of life. According to the capital’s Socialist mayor, Anne Hidalgo, the speed limit along the entire 35-kilometre Boulevard Peripherique – known as the "Periph" – will fall to 50 km/h from 70 km/h now. The move has triggered criticism from drivers and other opponents, with the right denouncing the measure as "socially unfair", as FRANCE 24’s Solange Mougin explains.
