Wedged between the sea and the mountains, Toulon is regularly congested by road traffic and to make matters worse, the Toulon Provence Méditerranée Metropolis (TPM) announced a few days ago the postponement of the implementation of a low-emission zone (LEZ) while 12 French metropolises have already applied it. In the Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur region 40% of respondents said they were afraid of getting sick due to pollution.
