This vote in the Assembly was "the opportunity for me to repeat to the minister that this proposal that I had made had been by the government", recalls the deputy: "better late than never but still, than sectarianism "…
"This is a first victory for road users", rejoices 40 million motorists while regretting that national roads have been excluded from the device. "A new gas plant" is being set up while "the old regulations were accepted and respected by the greatest number", deplores the association.
"It was inconceivable that this measure taken and defended by the prime minister alone would continue to penalize all French people for a longer period of time," notes the delegate general Pierre Chasseray while the president of the association, Daniel Quero, stresses that "this development The measure is the admission not only that 80 km / h does not work, but also that it is no longer possible to ensure road safety without the understanding and consent of users ".
"The elected parliamentarians have opened the door to an adjustment of the measure towards a partial return to 90 km / h on certain secondary roads and this is a first step, but we must go further because this will have the effect of making even less The speed limits are legible for users, which will henceforth oscillate between 70, 80 and 90 km / h depending on portions of roads and departments ", continues the president. "This is why we believe that the only possible solution is a pure and simple return to the old regulations: 90 km / h by default, and occasional lowering to 70 km / h upon decision of the departmental councils and the mayors in the areas deemed dangerous ".
According to the association, which publishes a map of France of the departments where the speed limit could soon return to 90 km / h, "64 presidents of departmental councils have expressed their desire to raise the speed limit to 90 km / h on certain sections of roads ".
