30 km/h in town, why it annoys

It's going to complain.On the Parisian “Grands Boulevards”, the speed of traffic could soon be limited to 30 km/h, advances this Monday, October 22, an article in Figaro.All the ingredients of the jacquerie are brought together: the car, the speed and Paris.How dare to restrict freedom in the political and economic capital of France, where so many important people circulate every day?At the town hall, the measurement is confirmed at half words."This reduction in speed is one of the tracks envisaged, but we have not set a date," said the press service.We should know more next week.

So, no offense to the groves, traffic will soon be slowed down in the capital.In fact, Paris already has some 70 districts limited to 30 km/h, a maximum not always respected.But after the lowering at 70 km/h of the maximum speed on the device and the installation of a few red lights on the tracks on the banks of the right bank, this new measure may exacerbate the tensions around the square of thecar in town.Incidentally, Bertrand Delanoë, the mayor of Paris, wins formidable Ayatollah ecologist.

Bulky, dangerous, noisy, expensive and fragile.Reactions to the article published on Lefigaro.fr say a lot about this deaf battle of the automobile that has been playing for a few years.An industry, quite in decline, tries to persuade individuals, with gleaming bodywork and promises of freedom, the need to have a powerful, but expensive and expensive object to maintain.The said individuals, once acquired their share of dreams, realize a little late that the toy is no longer used for much, at least at the center of the cities.Unless you roll in the middle of the night, have parking and not pay the fuel.Elsewhere, the automobile retains a certain usefulness, but driving obeys so many constraints that it becomes exhausting.Bulky, dangerous, noisy, expensive, fragile, the object gradually loses all its attraction.

And yet, to read the delicious comments that flowed under the Figaro article, there are obviously people who believe that the car is an effective way of travel in the city.Let's go on insults, homophobic allusions aimed at.Delanoë and the shortcuts of the type "since that's how it is, prohibit all the cars and the courses all the companies".Let's also pass on the stigma of "boho", this strange being that no one wants to identify, accused of sulking materialism and rolling by bike.The political recovery of fury (or jealousy?) Anti-bobo is promised to a bright future.Rue 89 had deciphered the phenomenon.Nothing is more annoying than these "sores" who feed on "brunch", spin "in velib" and would not miss for anything in the world their "yoga session" already castigated Marine Le Pen during her electoral campaign.

30 km/h en ville, pourquoi ça énerve

18.9 km/h on average.There remains the main argument, less controversial, that everyone will have read online, heard in the offices, rehashing in the bistro: we are taken our speed.Let's make a quick decoding.In reality, the average speed does not exceed, in town, the 15 to 20 km/h.18.9 km/h explains this site, defender of "the city at 30".18 km/h according to the "Ecomobility Guide", available here and published in 2005 by the Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME).

We bet that in the Parisian districts concerned, and singularly on the big boulevards, we drive even slower.Except at night, it is noted at the town hall, where the increase in accident risks is highlighted.And except the day, between two red lights.Indeed, it often happens like that: the motorized machine, two, three or four wheels, starts by rumbling, accelerates, briefly reaches the 50 km/h, sometimes exceeds them then brakes in front of a obstacle, pedestrian, cyclist, stopor signaling fire.We hope to win a few seconds, maybe pass a fire.Conclusion: we rose fleeting to 50, but without exceeding the average of 18.9.And this damn cycling who now catches up with us.It's annoying, right?
