The order was signed at the end of October, all that was missing was the panels so that the experiment could officially begin. The Île-de-France roads department has announced that the new signage would be installed during the night of Thursday 7 to Friday 8 November 2024. From tomorrow morning, the maximum speed on the A86 north will therefore increase from 90 km/h to 70 km/h.

The irony of users

Three municipalities in Seine-Saint-Denis are concerned: Saint-Denis, La Courneuve and Aubervilliers. “Ultimately allowing a reduction in noise pollution of around 40% for local residents but also reducing the accident rate, without a negative impact on travel times,” assures the authorities.

A few kilometers away, in the neighboring department of Val-de-Marne, the same experiment was set up on Tuesday November 5, 2024 between Bercy and Maisons-Alfort. Paris news received the reaction ofAlexandra Legendrespokesperson for the Drivers’ Defense League. “It’s really not easy to be a driver in Île-de-France. The 50 km/h ring road, the ZTL, the increase in the cost of parking, soon the Crit'Air 3 sticker… There is such an acceleration of restrictions in Paris and its inner suburbs that we have a feeling of relentlessness . »

Same skepticism among motorists who leave full comments of irony on Facebook groups: “Paris-Marseille by train 3 hours, Porte de Bagnolet-Porte Maillot 4 hours, soon, it will be more profitable to work in another country than in the IDF”; “Great, we’ll be able to cycle on the A86.” Will A86 users be more enthusiastic?
