As a transport professional, driving and stopping in Paris can be a real headache. It is important to know how to distinguish between areas dedicated to the delivery of conventional parking spaces. To do this, the reference color is yellow. Indeed, the delivery areas are delimited by a yellow ground marking.
In Paris, there are two types of delivery areas: protected areas and shared areas. But what differences are there between these two delivery areas? How to recognize them? Find out everything you need to know about delivery places in Paris in this article.
Traditionally, the Highway Code prohibited motorists from parking in delivery places. However, since 19 December 2010, the legislation has been relaxed and has introduced article 4.417-10 into the Highway Code.
The City of Paris has therefore decided to extend the measure of sharing certain delivery areas to all motorists in the capital. Thus, 7,000 delivery areas previously reserved for delivery professionals have been made available to individuals since December 1, 2010.
This is how the shared areas whom allow:
To recognize them, we identify shared delivery areas thanks to their delimitation by a simple yellow dashed line.
Les sanctuary areas are, for their part, areas strictly reserved for delivery operations.
Visually, they are recognizable by the uninterrupted double yellow line that frames them.
These seats are therefore reserved for delivery drivers and forbidden to motorists. In the event that a non-transport professional parks in a secure place, he is exposed to a amends which can range from €35 to €50 as well as at the impoundment of your vehicle.
In particular, they make it possible to supply businesses that are open early in the morning, such as grocery stores and bakeries.
This delivery regime targets three types of vehicles:
You can make deliveries:
Drivers using delivery areas should limit themselves to one 30-minute stop to transfer goods or passengers. This encourages efficient sharing of delivery areas.
In addition, this duration is controlled by means of a parking disc. This disc should be placed behind the windshield of your vehicle with the arrival time clearly visible.
Did you know that you can request the creation of a location or a delivery place?
To do this, contact the Territorial Road Section affected by this request.
Please note that the request will be taken into account if the number of planned deliveries is sufficient. And also, in the event that the framework of a delivery zone every 100 meters is not respected.
Since 2007, a regulation has governed the transport and delivery of goods in Paris. The objective? Simplify traffic and transport rules as well as limit the circulation of the most cumbersome and most polluting vehicles.
At the origin of this system, we find the professional and institutional partners of the City of Paris (federations of transporters, consular chambers, Police Prefecture, etc.). This consultation designed a framework and means to improve the transport and delivery of goods in the capital.
Result? One Charter of good practices of transport and deliveries of goods in Paris was developed and signed in 2006.
In 2013, this charter was updated. This took the form of a project charter bringing together 80 partners in working groups relating to air quality, logistics equipment and innovation.
This charter aims to improve the arrival and distribution of goods in Paris while minimizing the nuisances caused by the transport of goods, in particular air pollution, annoying noises and traffic conditions.
This approach promotes the economic attractiveness of the city. The goods regulation integrates regional principles in order to ensure harmonization at the level of the agglomeration. Updated by the decree of the City of Paris No. 2020 P19283 of December 31, 2020, this regulation is designed to be simple, understandable, applicable and controlled.
Traffic regulations differ depending on the vehicle length.
Explanations:
Case 1: The length of your vehicle exceeds 16.5 meters ?
Be aware that you cannot drive your vehicle.
Case 2: Is the length of your vehicle between 12 and 16.5 meters ?
You can only drive between 22:00 and 07:00.
This regulation applies to several actors:
Indeed, some vehicles do not have to follow the traffic rules mentioned above because of their activity.
This includes vehicles:
