Today there is a tendency to decrease the speed. We saw this in particular with the introduction of 80 km/h on the secondary network in 2018. But that’s not all, because the idea of ​​limiting all motorways to 110 km/h instead of 130 km/h is also gaining ground. Even if Prime Minister Elizabeth Bourne has so far refused to do so. Finally, it is impossible not to mention the cities where more and more people drive at a speed of 30 km/h instead of 50. This is especially true in Paris, but many others in France have also adopted this measure, which is considered more ecological and ecological. useful for road safety. But obviously not everyone agrees. And some even decided to go against this trend for the benefit of motorists.

Demagogic and dangerous

This is especially true of the new Cedric Aoun the unnamed mayor of Trill-sur-Seine, in Ivelina (78). Having recently arrived at the city hall, the latter decided to take an unusual measure: to return his entire city to 50 km/h. Three years on the streets really limited 30 km/h, which is not very pleasing to the chosen one. The latter emphasizes that this measure ” primarily served a demagogic purpose“. For him, this restriction will not be beneficial, and in some cases it is even dangerous. He notes that ” the previous mayor simply forgot that there are many important axes crossing Triel, where naturally drive at a speed of 50 or even 70 km/h. The fact that all these axes were traveling at a speed of 30 km/h created risks for citizens, in particular in the coexistence of motorists and cyclists, while simultaneously increasing the disruption of the flow of vehicles and slowing down“.

Not the whole city

However, the entire city will not be affected by this rollback, and some axes will still be limited to 30 km/h. As Aedile explains, after conducting an examination on the subject we found parts where speed limit 30 km/h was necessary, for example, where schools are located and where too narrow sidewalks force pedestrians to walk too close to the roadway“. But if residents like it, other city hall employees may not necessarily agree…
