The bikes will then be able to go the wrong direction on all city roads (not just the aforementioned “bike lanes”) along which the maximum speed limit is less than or equal to 30 kilometers per hour.

In school areas, the circulation, parking or detention of all or some categories of vehicles will be limited or excluded, at the times and in the manner determined by the mayor’s order. Obviously, buses, school buses and cars for the disabled will be exempt from the prohibitions. The penalties against offenders are very harsh: fines of up to 664 euros and in case of repeated suspension of the license from 15 to 30 days. […]
