Question

Since my friends and I are plan on doing a lot driving during our trip to France in May, we have been looking at a lot of maps lately (maps.live.com, maps.yahoo.com, etc.), and as such are having trouble finding out what the intials %26quot;Z.A.%26quot; and %26quot;Z.I.%26quot; mean.

Some examples are, in the Orly area, %26quot;Z.I. Nord,%26quot; %26quot;Z.I. Sud,%26quot; %26amp; %26quot;Z.A. Chemin Blanc.%26quot; We can figure that this means, Zone-something North, South %26amp; White Road, but would like a better understanding of their meanings.

Any help will be appreciated!

ZI = Zone Industrielle

ZA = Zone d%26#39;Action, Zone d%26#39;Activité

ZA can also signify Zone artisanale

|||

ZI : zone industrielle, an area where they have warehouses, headquarters of companies etc...

ZA : can%26#39;t really think at the moment.

Thanks to both of you....this is pretty much what we thought, in that it correlates to our (U.S.) Industrial Parks, etc. Again, thanks for confirnming!
