The debate about a possible limit to 110 km/h on French highways has been going on for several months. The measure, which was already considered in 2019 by the Public Climate Convention, among many other proposals aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, in particular. If the idea was forgotten for a while, it returned to the news a little earlier that year, when Elizabeth Bourne said that she supported this reduction in speed “in a personal capacity”, without asking for her participation. power. But now that it’s been a few weeks, there’s even more talk about the idea of speed reduction.
REMINDER: drive to the right on the highway! The middle lane and the left lane are for overtaking only. Don’t forget to pull over after passing for better traffic flow. #Safety tip #A10 pic.twitter.com/fuM1zj83Vy

Rejected event
Indeed, a forum signed by a dozen personalities including Yann-Artus Bertrand and Cyril Dion demanded the introduction of this restriction on all French highways. At the same time, the survey showed that the majority of motorists would really support this measure, which would then allow for a reduction fuel consumption and polluting emissions. Now it’s up to the government. And the least we can say is that the decision announced by the latter is strange, to say the least, while Prime Minister Elizabeth Bourne closes the door on the event. Answering questions from BFMTV, the latter stated that imposing 110 km/h on the French ” this is not the right way“. Then she says that“We also have people who need to travel on the motorway and have time constraints“.
Inform, but do not force
This is also stated by the minister it is important to be aware of the savings that can be gained by driving more slowly, the interest that this can cause reduce greenhouse gas emissionsbut we cannot work with bans“. However, unless motorists are subject to further speed reductions, civil servants must drive at 110km/h on duty as part of an energy sobriety plan. It remains to be seen whether this restriction will affect everyone sooner or later…
Why is this important? The first motorway without a toll barrier opens in Allier: a model for the future? – https://t.co/TX5r8CJ1uh
