Driving and Speed Limits in Paris
Driving and Speed Limits in Paris
If you decide to drive in Paris always keep in mind that traffic rules are more a suggestion than a law here. Pedestrians are crossing the streets as they wish, drivers are parking just everywhere and traffic lanes sometimes don't exist at all.
Motorcycles (and especially scooters) are ever-present and annoying if you're not used to them (especially on the sidewalk). Traffic is chaotic. Still, it is highly recommended to avoid drunk driving and speeding - fines are heavy and in extreme cases your car can be impounded.
Drivers from your right side have priority, often at highly unexpected places. This is the single most important traffic rule in Paris.
Pay & Display scheme is typical for parking in Paris. It is advisable to check for free parking hours, usually during the night but often during the lunchtime as well.
