Question 29708 — road safety

Summary

Ms. Anissa Khedher questions the Minister of the Interior about the increase in motorized rodeos in recent weeks. Motorized rodeos have multiplied in several cities, particularly those in the metropolis of Lyon during the confinement period. Their repetition, their intensity, the number of participants have increased, arousing the legitimate exasperation and concern of local residents who suffer, some on a daily basis, from these nuisances. If the phenomenon is known in the neighborhoods, it extends to neighboring municipalities as evidenced by the giant rodeo organized between Villeurbanne and Lyon at the end of April 2020. Beyond the noise pollution that rodeos cause, they considerably increase the risk of accidents, potentially fatal, and thus represent a significant threat for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and for all users of public space. The perpetrators of these rodeos, often very young, with little or no protection, are not always aware of the danger they cause and the risk they take. In Vaulx-en-Velin, a 14-year-old minor was seriously injured while participating in one of the rodeos on a scooter. On August 3, 2018, the law strengthening the fight against motorized rodeos was promulgated. Since that date, it has enabled the forces of order and justice to have greater means and legal tools to fight against these nuisances and penalize their authors. However, law enforcement interventions against this scourge remain complex and potentially dangerous. Although the period of deconfinement is beginning, the rodeos will continue. Therefore, it becomes essential for the State to provide a response to local residents who too often suffer these nuisances, the dangers they induce, the feeling of insecurity they convey. It is appropriate, as quickly as possible, to return public space to residents of particularly affected neighborhoods and give them back the public tranquility they deserve. To achieve this objective, she asks him what answers he offers to renew the dialogue with the authors, particularly the youngest among them, to strengthen prevention as well as to arrest and firmly sanction those who, particularly repeat offenders, organize these rodeos and take active part in them.
