Question 13536 — road safety

Summary

Ms. Lisette Pollet draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the increase in accidents and road deaths observed in 2025, particularly in the Drôme department. At the national level, despite the downward trend observed for several decades, recent data show a worrying deterioration. The summer of 2025 was notably marked by a significant increase in the number of people killed on the roads, with an increase of 23% in July and 18% in August. The assessment for the year 2025, established by the state services in the Drôme prefecture, highlights a particularly critical situation. As of December 28, 2025, road accidents resulted in the deaths of 41 people, compared to 40 during the year 2024, although marked by an already high level of mortality on the roads. At the same time, 427 people were injured, including 177 hospitalized, an increase of 9.48% compared to the previous year. If the State services highlight a strengthening of road controls, with 40,500 offenses noted by the police and 2,155 administrative suspensions of licenses between January and December 2025, these figures are not enough to stop the progression of fatal accidents on the department's roads. This observation drawn up in the Drôme constitutes a local illustration of the ineffectiveness of the national road safety policy already highlighted by the Court of Auditors in its report of July 2, 2021. In this context and while the safety of the French must remain an absolute priority, it asks what concrete measures the Government intends to implement from 2026 to strengthen the effectiveness of the road safety policy, particularly in rural areas like Drôme. She also questions him about the human and financial resources that will be devoted to it.
