The Toulouse ZFE challenged by bikers?
The bikers of the Templiers association on the road are suing the Toulouse ZFE. They want it canceled.
In Toulouse, bikers fly to the aid of freedom of movement. The Templiers association on the road attacks the ZFE of the pink cityin the legal field. “We are appealing to the administrative court of Toulouse, for the cancellation of this ZFE decreethus explains the president of the association, in remarks reported by The Midi Dispatch. “It’s not just bikers who stand up to this project, but all motorists. »
Since March 1, 2022, the city of Toulouse has had a Low Emission Zone for heavy goods vehicles, vans and vans. Crit’Air 5 or unclassified. Or, according to the association’s lawyer, Maître Cabrol, several sensitive points were not taken into account.
The latter thus considers that “the procedure of the consultation of the EPZs is very insufficient. Nobody knew. It was very confidential. Then, the general and brutal prohibition of certain vehicles in 2025 is very unequal and will place many households in difficulty. »
A demonstration against the Toulouse ZFE in March
The Knights Templar on the road, performing as “a group of bikers fighting for the biker cause” therefore hopes to question the existence of this EPZ. An area against which they have been struggling for several weeks. Last March, the organization, along with the Bikers de France and around a hundred motorcyclists, had block the Toulouse ring road. The opportunity to organize… a barbecue on the asphalt of the ring road, against a backdrop of hard rock. Unique.
The legal attack will certainly be less impressive, but could have a different effect. The decision of the administrative court will probably not be known for several months. But the latter could case law on other EPZsin favor of motorists, or not…
Remember that by 2025, 45 cities with more than 150,000 inhabitants will have a ZFE. The latter are sold as a space supposed to improve air quality, prohibiting vehicles deemed too old and too polluting from circular. According to a survey conducted last February by Eco Entretien, only a third of French people are sufficiently informed about ZFEs.
