Late into Thursday night, traffic jams packed all roads leading out of Paris as people tried to get out before the latest lockdown took effect Friday, October 30. Videos and photos posted on social media showed traffic at a standstill — an obvious testimony that Parisians aren’t sitting still for this lockdown.
While French authorities pleased with people to stay home in Paris, vehicles were stalled for a “cumulative” 430 miles, as they tried to flee to the country, BBC reported. The lockdown is in effect until the end of November.
