From a member of Paris local government: «Tomorrow, we'll be saying to motorists, “Here's where you can drive, on this car-lane.” Everything else will be for pedestrians and cyclists.»

Source is in French, pay-walled and talking about the in-coming issues with fat-bikes: https://www.lemonde.fr/m-perso/article/2024/11/09/gros-pneus-et-coups-de-sonnettes-vers-la-suvisation-du-velo_6385307_4497916.html

The article is paywalled, so good luck with it. Isn't "Lemon de" on the conservative carbrain side?
And, yes, speed limits need to be enforced somehow for all motorized vehicles within their contexts. Sidewalks are not for riding fast and bike paths aren't for riding fast either. Speed limiters are most definitely needed, as is a lot of education. Civilization is 100% not ready for "sharable" scooters either.
Le monde is more of a liberal progressist newspaper iirc. But almost all newspapers in france are owned by billionaires either way sooo
Le Monde Group is mainly owned by various rich people, but 25% is owned by employees, and they have specific rights that are not common for billionaire-owned journals, like voting for their own newspaper managing editor and approving changes of shareholders.
Yes, I said it is paywalled a couple of worlds before the link. I was just giving a source for the quote, it's not really the point of the article.
No, Le Monde (The World) is center left, which in France means close to Socialist party, which is close to Bernie Sanders in the USA. It's probably the most well respected newspaper from France.
