Question 8202 — roads

Summary

Mr. Vincent Trébuchet draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to the worrying proliferation of non-compliant speed bumps, particularly speed bumps, throughout the national territory. According to some estimates, France has nearly 450,000, located in both urban and rural areas. Their multiplication raises growing concerns in terms of road safety and environmental impact. Indeed, the repeated braking and re-acceleration phases that they impose lead to excess fuel consumption, accentuating pollution. Furthermore, numerous feedback from users - motorists and motorcyclists - report speed bumps whose dimensions, location or justification do not comply with the regulations, making them potentially dangerous. It is therefore estimated that nearly 400,000 speed bumps could be non-compliant. The Council of State nevertheless ruled out the option of a systematic withdrawal, citing budgetary reasons. If this decision can be understood, it cannot justify inaction in the face of clearly dangerous installations. In this context, he wishes to know if the ministry has defined a threshold of illegality or dangerousness beyond which removal becomes obligatory. He also asks him if the Government is considering a national audit aimed at identifying all the devices installed, checking their conformity and relevance and recommending, if necessary, their removal. Finally, he asks if a circular reminding the applicable standards will be sent to mayors.
