Contra-flow cycling introduced

In France, you can, from July 1st, legally cycle the 'wrong way' up a one-way street that's within a 30km/h zone.

After trials in Sevres and Ill-kirch-Graffenstaden (Bas-Rhin),a town of 25,000 near Strasbourg, which produced good safety results, the whole of France will be affected by the measure this Summer. At the end of the street, an 'except bikes' sign will be added to the 'no entry' sign, and at the start, a small blue sign will remind road users to expect cyclists.
