While the government is considering reducing the speed from 130 to 110 km/h on the motorways, especially due to the climate crisis, French users would be quite ready to accept it.
On motorways, the maximum speed is lowered from 130 to 110 km/h, upossible measure, among other things, to combat global warming. Butis users areare they ready to slow down? “I follow the limits so if they tell me 130 i drive at 130. If they tell me 100, I drive at 100“, assures one user. “If I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it“, promises another. Reducing the speed to 110 km/h instead of 130 km/h is acceptable today for a majority of French people, 68% according to a survey published on Sunday, November 6 in Le Parisien (article for subscribers).
According to the citizens’ convention for the climate, drive less quick this would be 20% less greenhouse gases and a further 20% reduction in fuel consumption. Ehot by the growling movement when passing to 80 km/h on the national, the government had rejected the idea of reducing the speed on the highways. That was two years ago, but since then the climate crisis has gotten even worse.
