Temporization area, installed in the Part-Dieu district
Installed for five years in the Part-Dieu district, in order to regulate the entry and arrival of trucks on construction sites, the Reguly system will now extend to the construction sites of the ZAC Gratte-Ciel de Villeurbanne.
Installed since 2019 in the Part-Dieu district, the Reguly site coordination system aimed at regulating truck flows will now extend to the sites of the ZAC Gratte-Ciel de Villeurbanne. Created by the Métropole de Lyon in order to reduce noise pollution for local residents and greenhouse gas emissions from deliveries, Reguly should help improve the working conditions of drivers and the safety of users.
An innovative system, allowing drivers to park their trucks in regulated parking lots located on the outskirts of the Metropolis, thus avoiding illegal parking and reducing congestion in the area. “The objective is to allow Villeurbanne residents to continue to live normally despite the transformations of the site”, explains Pauline Schlosser, deputy mayor of Villeurbanne, in charge of mobility, travel and parking.
“The principle is simple, drivers just need to reserve a slot on the common schedule, then show up at the car park, with their delivery protocol. Once authorized, the vehicles can then go to the site on time. , without hindering traffic”, explains one of the parking lot managers present.
7,500 hours of inconvenient parking avoided
Created five years ago by the Métropole de Lyon, Reguly helped avoid the emission of 125 tonnes of CO2, and 7,500 hours of annoying or illegal parking. A device that has won over a large number of drivers, feeling more secure, due to not having to park illegally during their interventions.
In order to respond to the various hazards likely to occur once on site, temporary parking lots are also installed as close as possible to the construction sites, making it possible to accommodate trucks in an emergency, when access is refused.

World Today News: What future developments do you foresee for the Reguly system in Lyon’s metropolitan area?
Hello and welcome to World Today News. We are pleased to have you here with us today to discuss the extension of the Reguly system in Lyon’s metropolitan area. Could you please introduce yourself and provide us with your expertise on this topic?
Guest 1: Good morning, my name is Pauline Schlosser, and I am the Deputy Mayor of Villeurbanne in charge of mobility, travel, and parking. I have been instrumental in implementing the Reguly system in the area and am excited to share our progress with you today.
Guest 2: Hi there, I’m Thomas, one of the parking lot managers assigned to the Reguly system. I’ve been working on this project since its inception and can provide insights into its day-to-day operations and the impact it’s had on drivers and residents.
World Today News: Great to have you both with us. Could you elaborate on the Reguly system and how it works for our audience who might not be aware of it?
Guest 1: Certainly. The Reguly system is an innovative approach to managing truck traffic and parking in construction zones. It involves creating regulated parking lots on the outskirts of the city where truck drivers can park their vehicles securely and then use slot reservations to access construction sites during designated times. This helps avoid illegal parking, congestion, and reduces the inconvenience to local residents. The system was first implemented in Lyon’s Part-Dieu district in 2019 and has been a success.
World Today News: That sounds impressive. What inspired the creation of the Reguly system, and how did it come to be implemented in the Part-Dieu district first?
Guest 1: The Reguly system was created to address the challenges posed by construction in urban areas, especially concerning emissions and traffic disruptions. We wanted to ensure that construction work could continue without negatively impacting the quality of life of local residents. The Part-Dieu district was chosen as the pilot location because of its high density of construction sites and the potential for significant improvements in traffic flow and air quality.
