For the moment, no sanctions are planned for offenders; they will arrive later. But GPS applications are already integrating this new regulation, notably Google with Maps and Waze, its two flagship services.

The ZTL is indicated on Google Maps and Waze

From now on, Google Maps displays a blue border and a warning for journeys that pass through the ZTL. As for Waze, the application goes further since it is possible to personalize your profile if you have proof. Taxis, as a reminder, are automatically exempt from these restrictions.

What about Apple? The Cupertino company is lagging behind. The Maps app does not indicate anything about the ZTL or warn motorists. The company was contacted by BFMTV Tech&Cobut has not communicated about an update.

Remember that in addition to taxis, the ZTL is accessible to modes of transport such as buses, bicycles or if you are on foot, without proof.

The noose is therefore tightening on motorists. The ZTL prohibits through traffic in the first four districts of the capital. This is a new measure after the 50 km/h limit on the Paris ring road. And shortly, ZFE radars will be set up to fine vehicles which do not comply with the Crit'Air, considered to be too polluting.
