    Thats not the issue here FFS. Its about drop which can mean TWO THINGS. But sure who ever wrote that teaser could have just said that Paris is reducing the amount of parking spaces.

    When they want to be specific in the teaser they need to be consistent across the board.

      FWIW: It never even occured to me that they might have meant removing speed limits. I had to go back and re-read it a few times to see what the beef was.

      Context is important here. Sure, “drop” could mean two things, but anything other than “lowering” in this case wouldn’t make sense. IMHO, at least.
