Radars - A bill against the general drop in speed to 80 km-h -

54 deputies led by Jerôme Nury (Les Republicains, Orne) tabled a bill to give local authorities the power to freely set the speed limit on their roads, within the limit of an additional 10 km / h. In other words, to be able to return to the "good old" 90 km / h wherever they want … Explanations.

"The philosophy of this text is simple: entrust the speed limits to those who know the road network best in order to go up certain sections at 90 km / h", summarizes the deputy (LR) of Orne (61) Jerôme Nury, author of the "relating to the power of adaptation of the maximum speeds authorized by the authorities holding the power of traffic police".

Based on their knowledge of the field, local elected officials could thus "define portions of roads not presenting any particular danger where the maximum speed limit of 90 km / h could be maintained", estimate the 54 deputies (out of 577), supported in particular by the association 40 million motorists.
