France: Motorcycle riders plan go-slow protest in Paris on Oct. 20
Motorcyclists to conduct go-slow protest on Boulevard Peripherique in Paris, France, on Oct. 20. Transport disruptions.
Motorcyclists affiliated with the Federation Francaise des Motards en Colere (FFMC) plan to protest in Paris on Oct. 20. The purpose of the action is to denounce a recent reduction in the speed limit on the Boulevard Peripherique (Ring Road). Participants will gather at Porte Dauphine at 14:00 before conducting a go-slow vehicular protest march along the Boulevard Peripherique starting at 15:00. While the exact end point of the procession remains unclear, preliminary reports suggest the convoy's destination may be the Paris City Hall (Hotel de Ville).
Transport disruptions and increased security are likely along the procession route. Clashes between demonstrators, authorities, and frustrated motorists not participating in the demonstration are possible.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Consider seeking alternative routes to circumvent the impacted area. Heed all instructions from local authorities.
