It has been almost five years since the government decided to introduce an 80 km/h limit on the entire secondary road network in France. A measure that at the time had great difficulty in applying to motorists and which contributed to the crisis Yellow vests. Our leaders have since backed off, allowing the departments return to 90 km/h if they wish. Many have already made up their minds, and some have decided to stay at a speed of 80 km/h, which is safer for some. Which is not always true.

new departments

Some took a little longer to decide, but eventually decided to increase the speed limit as well. And this is exactly three of them at the beginning of April. These include Calvados, which returns to 90 km/h on no less than 28 roads, equivalent to a total of 400 kilometers. IN Morbian we also return to 90 km/h. As David Lappartient, president of the departmental council, explained ” it’s in the works and we have every intention of seeing it through“. Such an increase in speed will be carried out purposefully.

There are already 46 departments

By June, at least 90 kilometers of secondary roads will return to 90 km/h in the Alpes Haute-Provence. Where will the case be in Nièvres, as well as in Gars. So this is an increasingly common trend, which proves that most prefects did not approve of 80 km/h. No less than 46 departments have already decided to increase the maximum speed on their roads, as they have the right to do so from the government. A constantly growing number.
