The authorities in the northern French city of Lille have announced a cycling ban that covers large parts of the pedestrianised city centre and old town, following a rise in pedestrian safety concerns. The policy, entitled “Cyclists, (your) feet on the ground”, applies to cyclists, skateboarders and scooters within the permanent pedestrian area of the old town centre between 11am and 10pm. On Saturdays, the ban extends to an even wider area of the old town between 11am and 7pm. Fines, ranging from €35 and €135, are to be handed out by police after a brief transitional period.
