Safety is a priority
All the figures and studies show it: danger explodes with speed. When driving at 50 km/h, the stopping distance is 29 metres, compared with 13 metres at 30 km/h.
According to the Road safetyA pedestrian hit at 30 kph has a 95% chance of survival. Faced with a vehicle travelling at 50 kph, these chances plummet to 53%, and even 20% at 60 kph. Note also that the higher the speed, the more peripheral vision becomes blurred: driving at 30 km/h therefore gives you a wider field of vision, which reduces the risk of an accident.
An ecological measure
As well as sometimes being dangerous for safety, unnecessary acceleration in built-up areas is a serious risk. spend fuel unnecessarily. Driving at 30km/h not only saves money, it also reduces pollution.
According to the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (Agence de l'Environnement et de la Maîtrise de l'Energie), reducing speed in towns and cities has a positive impact on the environment. positive effects on air quality. The Zone 30, designed to ensure that different road users can live together, also encourages people to use soft forms of transport. Fewer cars logically means fewer polluting emissions!
A calmer city
The 30 km/h speed limit is an excellent tool for rebalancing uses. So everyone can get around with greater peace of mindWhether you're a motorist, a motorcyclist, a cyclist, a pedestrian or a person with reduced mobility.
Thanks to smoother traffic flows and more consistent rules, stress is reduced. The same applies to noise pollution. In a study carried out in Lausanne in 2018 before and after the installation of a 30 km/h zone, noise levels fell by an average of 3 decibels, and even by up to 5 decibels at peak times.
Neuilly-sur-Marne adopts the principle of City 30. From 15 November 2023, only major roads will remain at 50 km/h. Zone 30 signsThese signs, which indicate that the speed limit is 30 kph throughout most of the town, have been installed at the entrances to the town. This measure has at least three major benefits for residents of Nocé.
These roads are still limited to 50
