Be careful if you take the A86 between Saint-Denis and La Courneuve (Seine-Saint-Denis). This 5 km section is limited to 70 km/h from this Friday, compared to 90 km/h previously. The change in traffic signs was carried out during the night and several radars will soon flash motorists who do not respect this new speed limit, reports The Parisian.
Reduce noise pollution for local residents
The objective is in particular to reduce noise pollution for people who live near the motorway. “A population estimated at 5,000 people is likely to be exposed in a prolonged and repeated manner to sound levels above the regulatory threshold of 65 dB during the day and 60 dB at night,” indicates the decree signed on October 29 by Isabelle. Pantèbre, interim prefect of the department.
The Île-de-France Roads Department estimates that this measure will reduce noise linked to road traffic by around 40% but also “reduce the accident rate”. A delay of one month will be applied before the radars are put into operation to allow users to get used to it, explained to the Ile-de-France daily Kader Chibane (EELV), elected in Saint-Denis.
