In the Rennes metropolitan area, the new metropolitan ZTL directive redirects traffic away from the historic city center.
In order to reduce the presence of cars in the historic heart of the city, Rennes has decided to establish a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL). From February 13, 2023, only residents, emergency services, and deliveries are authorized within the zone.
From February 13 to summer 2023, the Police will ensure proper enforcement of the ZTL. Residents must carry proof of residence during the trial phase in case of control.
The limited traffic zone prioritizes pedestrians and bikes. The Rennes ZTL is located on the site of the former meeting zone. Vehicles within the zone must not exceed 20 km/h. Parking in the zone is reserved for authorized persons.
Which streets are affected?
The map below shows the streets affected by these restrictions.
For those who prefer text over an image, the street of Hôtel-Dieu to the north, the boulevard de la Liberté to the south, the boulevard de Chézy to the west, and the Guillaudot / Gambetta axis to the east are the cardinal points of the ZTL.
Who has the right to circulate in the Rennes ZTL?
Rennes establishes the Limited Traffic Zone to allow pedestrians and cyclists to regain priority in the city center. This echoes the calming zone, which has become the ZTL of Paris, planned for 2024. Among the only authorized vehicles in the zone are public service vehicles (EDF, GRDF…), police, emergency services, merchants, and residents.
A proof of residence is required for residents and shop owners to access the zone during the trial phase until summer 2023.
A complete list of authorized vehicles is available on the city’s website at Rennes.
What should I do if I don’t live in the ZTL?
To minimize traffic in the historic center, Rennes provides parking lots around the Rennes ZTL for users who do not live in the zone.
The full list is available here, as well as on the Rennes Metropole website.
