<p>The problem for driving in Paris is due for a large part to the lack of transport "suburb to suburb" for many many years...</p>
<p>All is concentrated in Paris, even the roads which directions are not Paris but other countries of France.</p>
<p>Delanoë wanted to improve th circulation of pedestrians and I think that is is a good idea. Cars made themselves Paris a hell for... themselves since a long time, without a Delanoë!</p>
<p>But it's sure that without a real thinking about circulation in all the country "Île de France", drivers won't manage to drive easily...</p>misschrisc commented on 'Hard, hard to live in Paris'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c82d353ef00d834a32e4d69e22006-01-21T08:41:43Z2008-08-29T16:01:48Zmisschrischttp://aprettyhowtown.blogspot.com/Geneva is like this.

It's impossible to park and you are encouraged (strong-armed) into doing their famous park/ride; parking in the outskirts and riding the bus. They've ended up with a city difficult to get to with little personality.</p>Ham commented on 'Hard, hard to live in Paris'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c82d353ef00d8346dc4d353ef2006-01-21T08:15:15Z2008-08-28T13:33:09ZHamhttp://londondailyphoto.blogspot.comIs it true somehting I heard a few years back, that in order to help enforce Bus lanes in Paris,...<p>Is it true somehting I heard a few years back, that in order to help enforce Bus lanes in Paris, the authorities hhav made it so that if a car and a bus have an accident in the bus lanes, the car is always at fault, no matter what? As a result bus drivers were ofter using cars for target practice? </p>
<p>From Sedulia:</p>
<p>I've never heard that, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were true because cars are not supposed to be in the bus lanes. Turning right is often a problem because of the bus lanes.</p>Sammy commented on 'Hard, hard to live in Paris'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c82d353ef00d834a2c26869e22006-01-20T09:10:43Z2008-08-28T13:34:46ZSammyhttp://www.izoinoan.blogspot.com/Eek.

I see this is New York and parts of Los Angeles, and other American cities. But it is a complicated matter, where the inner cities have become cool places to live, and only the young and wealthy can really afford it -- while much of the work force is commuting in. So, the traffic issue also begins to connect to other issues such as class, money, and race.</p>Zardoz commented on 'Hard, hard to live in Paris'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c82d353ef00d834a2348f69e22006-01-19T13:57:20Z2008-08-29T05:23:07ZZardozI belong to the 40 % who don't like him (and I used to like him too).

I think people who have to use a car, even if it's only from time to time, will have to leave. Paris will be just a gigantic museum where happy and rich Bobos will ride their bicycles.</p>

"Bobo" is short for "Bourgeois-Bohème" or "Bourgeois-Bohemian."]</p>Vivi commented on 'Hard, hard to live in Paris'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c82d353ef00d834a22c7569e22006-01-19T12:11:44Z2008-08-29T10:59:53ZVivihttp://dispatchesfromfrance.blogspot.comI saw this story mentioned on the news this morning and I thought of you. :)<p>I saw this story mentioned on the news this morning and I thought of you. :)</p>
