In mid-December, the lights at around ten intersections

From Monday 16 and Tuesday 17 December, the lights at around ten crossroads in the city center will switch to flashing mode during the night to make traffic flow more smoothly during periods of low traffic, eliminate unnecessary waits at red lights, and reduce noise and greenhouse gas emissions. When the lights are deactivated (flashing orange lights or lights off), the priority rules are governed by the signage and ground markings: pedestrians have priority on crossings (while remaining cautious of vehicles) , and priorities between vehicles are indicated by “main road”, “give way” or “stop” signs. This measure will be evaluated after a six-month test period and made permanent if successful. See the location of the intersections on cartolacote.ch

At the same time, from the end of November, around fifteen neighborhood streets will be gradually converted into zones 20 or 30. Signs and light fixtures will be installed to increase safety and reduce nuisance from motorized traffic.

Rappel : in zones 20, pedestrians can use the entire circulation area. They have priority, but must not unnecessarily obstruct vehicles. In 30 zones, pedestrians do not have priority, but can cross wherever they want, unless there is a pedestrian crossing.

Finally, thehe City of Nyon is perpetuating the test developments carried out at the end of 2023 at Place de la Gare to improve pedestrian comfort. The pedestrian crossing leading to the underpass will be widened to provide more space. The traffic lights in front of the CFF ticket office will be removed, forcing vehicles to give priority to pedestrians at all times. A new pedestrian crossing will be added at the corner of rue Jules-Gachet, and pedestrian access to the Cour aux Marchandises will be optimized. This work will be carried out from Tuesday November 19 until December, subject to favorable weather conditions.
