Lyon, already in Polycity.
Lyon's streets, its lines and its residents, simulated through a whole weekday.
A banned protest day across the Presqu'île and Part-Dieu.
The prefect banned protests there, not traffic. As the case a planner tests, one area drawn over the ban closes every street, stop and station inside it for its hours. Metro D and tram T4 stop for the rest of the day, though TCL gave 22:00 for the restart of most stopped lines, and the residents who use them find another way home.
