Protesters caused traffic chaos in Paris

Carnival workers are creating traffic chaos in Paris to protest the city’s ban on a popular Christmas fair on the iconic Champs-Elysees Avenue.

The French road authority reported increased traffic on several highways into Paris during Monday morning rush hour. French broadcasters showed trucks running a so-called “escargot operation” on a highway west of Paris, driving at a snail’s pace across multiple lanes. (Venczel Katalin, MTI)
