Question 3871 — cycles and motorcycles

Summary

Ms. Claire Lejeune draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to the consequences of Decree No. 2024-1074 of November 29, 2024 prohibiting the use of flashing rear red lights on bicycles. According to the latest ONISR barometer (September 2024), cyclist mortality is increasing, with 240 deaths over the last 12 months, an increase of +10% compared to the previous period and +28% compared to 2019. In this worrying context, this ban reduces the visibility of cyclists on the road and directly compromises their safety. Flashing rear lights are an essential device, particularly in rural areas, at night or in bad weather, where they improve motorists' perception of cyclists. Their removal goes against the recommendations of road safety experts and associations. specialized. Furthermore, this measure appears to contradict the objectives of developing soft mobility. Encouraging the use of bicycles requires guaranteeing safety and any restriction that weakens cyclists risks having a deterrent effect. This is why the MP asks the Minister when the Government intends to repeal this decree. She would also like to know the reasons which led to take this decision and requests that the impact study be published justifying that this ban is not detrimental to the safety of cyclists.
