The limitation to 110 mph and the prohibition of double trucks extend from tomorrow, Thursday 1st October on the regional highway network. Experience lorraine ring she ultimately the death knell of 130 km / h?
"The Lorraine have good adaptative their speed" On Thursday October 1, the speed will be limited to 110 mph on all highways Lorraine ungranted or 180 kilometers representing roughly half of the regional motorway network.
Some channels will be referred also affected by a ban on double for trucks. The measures implemented since July on the A31 between Nancy and Luxembourg border are extended under the original plan submitted in March. Lorraine is the main area of experimentation with these rules of conduct and the results will be analyzed by the departments in spring 2010. If they are successful, they could then be applied throughout the national motorway network. The special treatment given to our region, also one of the most proportionately provided by speed cameras, would be the consequence of particularly intense traffic. "There are few areas in France that combine such a density of heavy trucks and passenger cars who go to work," says Didier Ohlmann, head of policy road east of Dir. This ensures that "it is still too early to draw definite conclusions about what we've seen on the A31. Despite the rigor of caution, the trends appear clearly. They are very promising. The speed limit 110 km / h, combined with the prohibition of double, had the effect of harmonizing the rates. These ranged on the A31 between "less than 90 km / h to 130 km / h and more. The counts made since the July show that over 50% of users roll today between 90 and 110 km / h. "The comfort and the flow speeds generate more regular, more homogeneous," insists Didier Ohlmann. No statistics have been performed on injury accidents, time is too short, but it appears already that the material accidents are fewer.
The services of Dir is ensure that motorists and truckers are generally respectful of rules, with the exception of trucks that assimilate difficult crossings of cities to 80 km / h.
Experience Lorraine is she is a warm a general desertion of 130 km / h? The 110 km is it useful on motorways less frequented, for example, the portion of the Lorraine A4? Too early to tell. The state departments stick to their timetable. Officially, the test period will end in spring 2010. The results will be analyzed at the national level. "These measures will probably be extended to other regions" advanced Didier Ohlmann. In any event, a fundamental reflection is undertaken on speed. The German example of dynamic regulation is a solution observed with interest. The panels limitations are resolved at 130 km / h or 110 km / h or less depending on traffic density. Ultimately, the goal is to drive less and slower.
