Instructions to follow from the authorities
Faced with the numerous taxis that will take the road, the Prefect of the Rhône calls on “motorists to postpone their trips, to use public transport or to telework. »
But that's not all. Road users are also called to be extremely vigilant and calm when approaching blockage points. The police will be heavily mobilized for the safety of all.
No lasting blockage accepted
The Rhône prefecture clarified to the organizers of this movement “that no lasting blockage will be accepted. […] And no action to filter access to hospitals will be tolerated by state services. »
Consequently, at least one lane of traffic must be systematically kept free to allow the passage of vehicles likely to be blocked as well as that of emergency vehicles or internal security forces.
In the event of non-compliance with these commitments made by the organizers, the police will intervene to put an end to the disturbance of public order.
