These elected officials from La Manche worried about the danger of this crossroads on the road between Normandy and Brittany

Two more accidents occurred, on December 30 and December 31, 2024, at the crossroads of national road 175, which connects Avranches and Pontorson and departmental road 80, which crosses this very busy axis of the Channel, between Normandy and Brittany.

This is the sad observation, established during the ceremony of wishes to the inhabitants by Christine Julienne, the mayor of Tanis, a small town in the bay of Mont Saint-Michel.

Ten accidents in Tanis since the start of 2024

Since the start of the year, at least ten clashes have taken place, including five in which the gendarmes intervened and one extrication by the firefighters. We regularly hear braking…

Christine Julienne warned the prefect of Manche, Xavier Brunetière. The services of the North-West Interdepartmental Roads Directorate, Dirno, are aware of this concern, as are the services of the Department.

Prefect and Dirno are warned

“Studies are underway. Different avenues have been mentioned, but there are no miracle solutions,” the mayor of Tanis has already warned, while arms were raised in the audience to speak.

“It was discussed to limit the speed to 50 km/h, to reduce the RN 175 to an uphill lane and a downhill lane throughout the entire urban area. Certainly, it is not satisfactory, she agreed, but we could add light signaling, like there is one in Précey, which warns and alerts.

It was following a serious traffic accident in June 2023 in this town, also crossed by the RN175, that an illuminated sign was installed at a pedestrian crossing.

Christine Julienne, before giving the floor to the residents, to invite “everyone to be careful when crossing this intersection. The delays between the moment we decide on an action and its implementation are always longer than expected,” she concluded.
