PARIS, France (CNN) -- Unrest simmered again in France for the 14th straight night, when vandals pushed a car into a school courtyard in Toulouse and set it on fire.Local officials in the southwestern city said it was one of four cars that had been torched so far Wednesday night.Firefighters put out the blazing car in the kindergarten courtyard around 7 p.m. (6 p.m. GMT) and told CNN no one was injured.Monday night in Toulouse, young people ordered passengers off a bus and then set it ablaze.Local officials said the city elected not to impose restrictions on the movement of young people there as it was authorized to do by the government Tuesday after nightly rioting raged in several cities across the country for nearly two weeks.The violence overnight Tuesday into Wednesday was less severe than previous nights, with fewer than 600 vehicles being burned in France, French state radio reported.That was a marked decrease from Saturday, when more than 1,400 were burned. In addition, there were fewer clashes between police and rioters.But rioting still flared violently in many areas. Lyon's subway system -- the second largest in the country -- had to be shut down after a gasoline bomb was thrown in a train station, according to French media reports.A number of cities had established restrictions on unaccompanied minors being in the streets at night in an effort to quell the violence, and some banned the sale of gasoline to minors, as the majority of the rioters were thought to be youth.The restrictions on movement will allow police to jail rioters for up to two months.On Wednesday, the French government said it would allow local governments to decide whether to continue the restrictions.The government of the Alpes-Maritimes department announced Wednesday that minors unaccompanied by adults may not be out or gather in public places between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. in the cities of Nice, Cannes, Antibes and several others.In the cities of Nice and Saint-Laurent-du-Var, cafes and bars must close during those hours as well, until November 19, according to a statement from the departmental government.The unrest broke out following the October 27 deaths of two young men of North African descent, who were electrocuted when they hid from police in an electricity sub-station in the Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois.During a discussion Wednesday in the National Assembly, Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said he had told local officials that they could decide whether to expel from the country 120 foreigners who had been arrested and convicted in connection with the rioting.De Villepin reactsOn Tuesday, French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin announced a sweeping package of reforms aimed at stopping the violence, as well as treating the social ills it stems from.De Villepin said the rioting was the result of France's failure to provide hope to thousands of youths, most French citizens and the children of Muslim immigrants from northern Africa.

De Villepin said 9,500 police, including reserves, had been called up to deal with the unrest. Of the 1,500 people arrested, 600 have been placed in temporary detention and 100 have been jailed, he said.Some of the rioting had been organized through Internet blogs that have now been shut down, de Villepin said. More is being done to strengthen the intelligence-gathering capability of French authorities.In order for French society to provide the same changes and opportunities to all its citizens, said de Villepin, 30 billion euros ($35.28 billion) will be spent in France's riot zones, with the focus primarily on helping young people. The French employment agency will focus on 239 hot zones, he said, to help provide jobs for 1.5 million people.Although France's national unemployment rate is about 10 percent, in areas hit by rioting the level is nearer 40 percent.France has no affirmative action; an official French study found that youths with Arab-sounding names have their job applications rejected up to five times as often as those with traditional French names.Fears growFears also were growing that the unrest could take hold elsewhere in Europe. Cars have been torched in both Brussels and Berlin, and police said they were investigating if they were copycat attacks.
