Many drivers do it, it will be banned from July 15 on these roads

This common practice on the road will be particularly supervised this summer.

It is a temporary solution but it has the merit of clarifying one of the big questions of the summer on the roads. It is by a decree published This July 11 in the Official Journal that we learned of the extension of an experiment that began on August 2, 2021. Launched for three years, this test, which concerned 21 French departments, was therefore to be stopped on August 1. Security routière has just announced its extension until September 15, pending a complete assessment of the experiment.

This full-scale test concerned inter-lane circulation (known as CIF) for motorized two-wheelers and three-wheelers. It validated and authorized a common practice of many motorcyclists, that of getting back between lines and stopped vehicles, for example during a traffic jam or slowing down sufficiently. The eight departments of Ile-de-France were concerned but also the Rhône with the Lyon metropolis, the Bouches-du-Rhône , Haute-Garonne, Gironde, Hérault, Isère, Loire-Atlantique, the North or even the Alpes-Maritimes, Var, Dr& ;ocirc;me, Vaucluse and the Pyrenees-Orientales.

But beware ! If the shutdown occurs published July 11 extends the test on all the roads already in use. concerned since 2021, it now adds an exception to this rule. remember this summer well. Inter-line traffic will thus be suspended and therefore completely prohibited on certain roads in Ile-de-France. These are those which will accommodate the 185 kilometers of lanes reserved for accredited vehicles. eacute;s for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris 2024.

Among these routes are well-known and very popular routes around the capital. Examples include the A1 motorway between Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle airport and Porte de la Chapelle, the A4 between Collégien and Porte de Bercy, the A13 between Saint-Cloud and Rocquencourt, the northern ring road on its section between Porte de Vanves and Porte de Bercy, part of the A86 and the A104.

The reason given is the safety of two-wheelers. The Ministry of the Interior informs us that on these roads, “traffic will be very heavy” during the period with the circulation of vehicles accredited to transport athletes, official delegations, emergency and security vehicles, taxis, ambulances or even public transport (circulating as part of a public service mission) and accredited journalists.

On all these roads, motorcyclists will no longer be allowed to go up the queues. They will have to get used to it quickly since this ban will be in effect from Monday, July 15 until September 15. This date of September 15 is also well remember for all road users since it signals the end of the experiment of inter-file traffic. While nothing says that this test will not be extended or expanded once again, the start of the 2024 school year will be a turning point with the results of the experiment. The Ministry of the Interior could thus, conversely, signal the end of inter-file traffic on our roads. And the return of fines ?
