Highway in Paris to go car-free for six months
The two-mile Voie Georges-Pompidou expressway, which was built in 1967 by the river Seine in Paris, is going 'car-free' for the next six months as part of a trial. The city council will be voting on a proposal to make the expressway permanently car-free later this month. Around 43,000 vehicles would generally use the expressway in one day.
