On many roads in the region, including the ring road and highways, lanes are reserved for authorized persons during the Games.
A less expensive way for drivers. Starting this Monday, July 15, in many routes of Ile-de-France, including the Paris ring road, 185 km of roads will be dedicated to the Olympic Games, the first in history to prevent access to vehicles car to the places. Intended to improve athletes’ transport and access to competition venues, they risk disrupting the already very busy traffic on the affected routes. Location, duration of activation, terms of use… We take stock of the work of these Olympic routes.

Where are the Olympic routes?
The A1 between Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle airport and Porte de la Chapelle will include a reserved road to allow entry and exit from the Olympic Village. It will be the same on the A4 to the east of the capital between Porte de Bercy and Collégien, near the Vaires-sur-Marne airport which hosts Canoe-Kayak and sailing events.
To the West in Yvelines, where there is the BMX stadium of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and Versailles which hosts equestrian sports, one way of the A13 will be prohibited between Saint-Cloud and Rocquencourt, and the AT 12.
The ring road will also have a special JO road, from Porte de Vanves to Porte de Bercy, passing in the north, as a circular boulevard around La Défense. Axes in Paris intra muros also apply.
How are the Olympic routes shown?
Only one way for the entrance way was kept. It is marked by white ground marks, “Paris 2024”or by yellow or blue vertical panels, with the same text or Games logo.
Who authorizes travel on Olympic routes?
Only people approved by the organizing committee of the Olympic Games (July 26 – August 11) and Paralympic Games (August 28 – September 8) will be able to use these routes. This includes athletes and their teams, officials and referees. But also taxi, public transport and emergency and security vehicles.
All certified vehicles will be identified, equipped with stickers and badges on the front and rear of the vehicle. Their license plates must be registered with the municipality. The control of authorized vehicles on these roads will be carried out by the Police Agency through a network of cameras and the deployment of agents. Bicycles, scooters and VTCs are forbidden to use these Olympic routes, under penalty of a fine of 135 euros.
How long will the Olympic routes last?
For most axes, it runs from July 15 to August 13, the end of the Olympic Games, then during the Paralympic Games season. The Olympic route of the A1 will be active until September 11 without delay. Part of these Olympic roads should be maintained after the Games, especially to encourage car parking.
