Recently I reported on plans by the UK Highways Agency\u00a0to introduce a 60mph zone on the M1 in order to help reduced emissions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The reason for this is that it thought a reduction of just 10mph will help significantly in improving air quality.<\/p>\n

In France, the measures to improve air quality went gone one step further… well, briefly anyway!<\/p>\n

In one quick swoop, half of all private cars and motor-bikes, and almost all trucks, were banned from the roads of Paris and its inner suburbs.<\/p>\n

On Monday, only vehicles whose registration numbers ended in an odd-number were allowed in the city, with the intention that Tuesday would see the turn of ‘evens’.<\/p>\n

However, the\u00a0Government decided that the scheme was so successful, that it could be abandoned after only one day!<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for 4,000 motorists, they had been given instant 22 euro fine for driving illegal, even-numbered cars on the day.<\/p>\n
